Spring 2024 is poised to be one of the most crowded seasons on Broadway in recent memory.
There are 20 new shows premiering, including new original musicals, musicals based on books and film, revivals of plays and musical, transfers from off-Broadway and out of town tryouts, and new interpretations of very old plays. The casts include veteran theater actors, famous film and television actors, and a lot of brand new talent.
Click the cut to see what's in store this spring. The shows are listed in order of their openings, and include a trailer or song when they are available. It excludes shows that have already opened - Prayer for the French Republic and Days of Wine and Roses.
