Oscar nominee Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) makes her Broadway debut in Suzie Miller’s Inter Alia as a British judge, wife, and mom whose life is derailed by allegations against her son.

We see: Pike, buttoned-up and looking stern (right down to her hair), plus a nod to Miller’s last legal drama: the Tony Award-winning Prima Facie.

We wonder: Pike won an Olivier Award for playing this role in London. Is a Tony coming down the pike?

Performances begin: November 10

Levi Holloway’s thriller, inspired by the found-footage film series, follows a couple to their new home in London, where they hope to escape a supernatural presence. Nope. They learn that places aren’t haunted, but people are.

We see: The grainy image of a person descending a staircase surrounded by a ghostly haze.

We wonder: Who — or what — else is watching their movements besides us? And how does the stage show adapt the movies' found-footage theme?

Performances begin: August 14

Four-time Tony nominee Raúl Esparza stars in this new rock musical as the trailblazing astronomer whose scientific findings challenged Church doctrine.

We see: Esparza in a doublet in near-silhouette, gazing into the cosmos.

We wonder: Could playing a 17th-century scientist finally win this Broadway star his Tony?

Performances begin: November 10

Book Galileo tickets on New York Theatre Guide.

In this musical inspired by real history, two Black twin sisters in 1893 Texas pass as white and become outlaws to save their family from ruin.

We see: The title in a frontier-style font, two women wearing serious expressions and cowboy hats, and a setting sun. Go West!

We wonder: Co-writer Angelica Chéri likened her musical to Thelma & Louise. Will Solea Pfeiffer and Liisi LaFontaine lasso that vibe as Mary and Martha Clarke?

Performances begin: October 15

Set in 1986 at a private all-girls school in Ghana, Jocelyn Bioh’s play buzzes around two students (played by Tony Award nominees Jasmine Amy Rogers and Denée Benton) vying for pageant victory.

We see: A girl in a modest high school uniform, draped in a glitzy, gold-trimmed sash and striking a pageant-perfect pose. Her ambition is clear.

We wonder: How has the play changed since its award-winning Off-Broadway debut nearly 10 years ago?

Performances begin: September 8

After becoming the world's longest-running musical for its Off-Broadway premiere in the '60s, Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones’s The Fantasticks makes its Broadway debut with its boy-meets-girl romance rethought: Two gay men now fall in love despite their moms' meddling.

We see: A whimsical drawing of a crescent moon and two birds, plus the title in a typeface matching the 1960 font. It suggests the original artwork, but a little different.

We wonder: The now-late Jones tweaked the show in small ways throughout its long life, like changing song titles. How will audiences respond to its biggest change yet?

Performances begin: October 22

Tony winner Bill Irwin stars in his new take on Molière’s 1670s comedy about a hypochondriac with a selfish marriage plan for his daughter.

We see: A cartoon riff on the iconic board game Operation, in which the patient sports a 17th-century ruff, wig, and, in expanded versions of the artwork, pantaloons.

We wonder: What clownish antics will Irwin do to engage our funny bones and keep us in stitches?

Performances begin: September 25

Get The Imaginary Invalid tickets on New York Theatre Guide.

A daughter’s memoir threatens to expose a politically connected family’s painful secrets in Jon Robin Baitz’s Pulitzer-nominated 2011 play.

We see: Scattered manuscript pages littering an arid highway, suggesting the aftermath of an accident. An alternate version also depicts the A-list cast — Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Ed Harris, Allison Janney, Joe Keery, and Lily Rabe — standing among the debris.

We wonder: How will this politically charged play land differently than it did 15 years ago?

Performances begin: September 29

Military lawyers dig for the truth behind a Marine’s death in Aaron Sorkin’s Broadway-debut drama from 1989, which became a Tom Cruise/Jack Nicholson movie in 1992. Bradley Whitford and Tom Blyth now star.

We see: A moody drawing of a soldier with tape over his mouth. The forced silence speaks volumes.

We wonder: The film's most famous line, “You can’t handle the truth,” was improvised. Will director Michael Arden’s revival add it to the script?

Performances begin: October 8

This 2024 Pulitzer Prize finalist from the acclaimed Tectonic Theater Project (The Laramie Project) explores a real-life 2007 controversy surrounding a Holocaust museum’s acquisition of an unusual Nazi-era photo album.

We see: Inside the lens of a camera, a photo of women and a man eating berries. Just a carefree, everyday moment in the life of Auschwitz staff.

We wonder: What can these ordinary-looking photos reveal about an extraordinarily terrible part of history?

Performances begin: November 2

Tom Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell lead director Jamie Lloyd’s direct-from-London Shakespeare revival as Benedick and Beatrice, who, after much ado, go from rivalry to romance.

We see: A closeup of the lovable leads. When you’ve got stars from the Marvel universe, flaunt them.

We wonder: The Winter Garden Theatre’s exterior now displays a fun shade of fuchsia. How will Lloyd, known as of late for neutral-hued revivals, tickle us pink with this bright production? It might just be Broadway's pinkest show since Legally Blonde.

Performances begin: October 31

Billy Crystal looks back at his family home's destruction in the 2025 Pacific Palisades, California fires, and decades' worth of memories.

We see: Crystal standing on stage with arms crossed and a warm smile, as if braced for hard memories but certain of the healing power of humor. A door is faintly visible in the glow of the spotlight, suggesting the memory of his lost home.

We wonder: Could this personal solo show lead to a Tony, like his numerically named 700 Sundays did in 2005?

Performances begin: October 1

This autobiographical show about the late Dolly Parton traces her journey from rural Tennessee to international superstardom. She co-wrote the book, and her songs, including “Jolene” and “9 to 5,” drive the story.

We see: An illustrated Dolly with a guitar, her name in diamonds, and a butterfly, a symbol associated with her songs and amusement park.

We wonder: Will the opening-night audience on January 19, when she would have turned 81, sing "Happy Birthday" or “I Will Always Love You” to the late Dolly? We expect both.

Performances begin: December 7

Clifford Odets’s 1935 drama follows three generations of a Depression-era Bronx family struggling to hold tight to dreams of a better life.

We see: A window looks out on gray tenement buildings in a desolate city landscape. Not much to rise and shine — or awake and sing — about.

We wonder: Will this revival, led by Danny Burstein, Jessica Hecht, Jeremy Shamos, Micaela Diamond, and Will Pullen, earn the exclamation point in the title?

Performances begin: December 15
