The Lincoln Center is thrilled to unveil its highly anticipated 2025–2026 performing arts season, a bold and inspiring lineup that brings together the very best in Broadway, music, comedy, dance, children’s entertainment, and the wonders of the world through National Geographic LIVE! When the season kicks off in October, expect to see an array of performances that will dazzle the eyes and stir the soul.

The spotlight shines bright as Broadway returns with blockbuster hits and long-running favorites. Appearing for the first time in the northern Colorado region is the national Broadway tour of Kinky Boots, the Tony® and GRAMMY® Award-winning big-hearted musical hit. Also on tap is the devilishly delightful and macabre hit musical The Addams Family, featuring everyone’s favorite creepy, kooky characters. Rounding out the season is Broadway's longest-running musical, Chicago. Winner of six Tony® Awards, two Olivier® Awards, and a GRAMMY®, this powerhouse national Broadway tour returns to razzle-dazzle northern Colorado audiences.

Get ready to laugh out loud as Maria Bamford, Paul Reiser, and Patrick Warburton bring their stand-up brilliance to the stage.

Celebrate the power of movement with dynamic dance companies like Ballet Hispánico, presenting Carmen as it’s never been done before, and Ballets Jazz Montréal, which will explore the beauty of the Leonard Cohen’s music.

Engage the whole family in imaginative and interactive performances that spark creativity. Experience the charming and cleverly crafted Doodle Pop, where drawings come to life through stunning animation. Get ready to roll with laughter as Doktor Kaboom delivers a show that is equal parts interactive science, comedy, and empowerment.

Experience the planet like never before with National Geographic LIVE, a speaker series that brings the world’s leading explorers, photographers, and scientists to the stage to share breathtaking visuals and unforgettable stories.

Other artists dropping in during the season include Black Violin, the GRAMMY®-nominated duo that has redefined the possibilities of music, and the vocal wonder from Down Under, The Ten Tenors, who are embarking on their electrifying 30th Anniversary World Tour. The holiday season will be brightened with RAIN: A Beatles Christmas Tribute featuring The Beatles music you know and love mixed with a bit of holiday magic, and pulling into town with their raucous Christmas Caravan is Squirrel Nut Zippers. Broadway stars Cheyenne Jackson and Nicholas Rodriguez will also be featured at special events in an intimate, on-stage, cabaret setting.

“This season is a celebration of artistry, connection, and the transformative power of live performance,” said Edward Modec, The Lincoln Center Interim General Manager. “We invite all of our Northern Colorado community members to join us for a season of unforgettable experiences.”
