A revival of the hit 2000 musical The Full Monty will be staged on Broadway next season in a Roundabout Theatre Company production to be directed by Leigh Silverman (Suffs, Yellow Face), with casting to be announced.
The project was one of three 2026-2027 Broadway productions and three Off Broadway productions announced today by the subscription-based non-profit Roundabout. The line-up will be the company’s first under the leadership of incoming artistic director Christopher Ashley, who takes over from Scott Ellis in July.
The upcoming Roundabout season will include two world premieres (Mix and Master, The Grief Eater Near North Bender), three revivals and two musicals, with productions starring Bill Irwin, Ruben Santiago-Hudson and Kara Young (most of the season’s casting has not been announced).
One of the Off Broadway productions, The Heart, features music and lyrics by Anne Eisendrath and Ian Eisendrath, the latter being a producer of the Oscar-winning smash hit “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters.
“The season Scott and I have shaped builds on what Roundabout has always believed: that theatre can hold the classic and the urgent side by side,” said Ashley in a statement. “We’re proud to have new work anchoring our season, even as we revisit a landmark comedy with fresh eyes and make room for a big, unabashedly entertaining musical.”
Additional details including dates, casting, creative teams and single ticket on-sale dates will be announced later.
The Broadway line-up is:
- The Imaginary Invalid, Fall 2026 at the Todd Haimes Theatre: Adapted from Molière by Bill Irwin, who stars under the direction of Brandon J. Dirden, The Imaginary Invalid is described by Roundabout as “a comedy that proves hypochondria never goes out of style.” Synopsis: Professional patient Argan indulges his every ailment, and schemes to marry off his daughter to a doctor to save on medical bills. But she has another life in mind.
- Mix and Master, Winter 2027 at the Todd Haimes Theatre by Dominique Morisseau, directed by Kamilah Forbes and starring Tony Award-winner Ruben Santiago-Hudson and two-time consecutive Tony Award-winner Kara Young. Synopsis: The last record shop in the Bronx is on its final spin. A rising DJ isn’t ready to let the music die. Mix and Master tells the story of a music-driven clash of generations, pulsing with hip-hop and jazz. As vinyl spins and tensions rise, what begins as a battle for the shop becomes a reckoning over legacy, survival, and the courage it takes to stay in the mix. Featuring live DJ sets throughout, this Broadway world premiere turns up the volume on the fight to keep the culture alive.
- The Full Monty, Spring 2027 at the Todd Haimes Theatre, Book by Terrence McNally; Music and Lyrics by David Yazbek, Choreography by Connor Gallagher, Directed by Leigh Silverman. Synopsis: From Tony Award-winners Terrence McNally and David Yazbek this modern musical comedy follows six men who are putting it all on the line by taking it all off. Based on the 1997 film that was first adapted for Broadway in 2000.
Roundabout’s Off Broadway entries next season are:
- The Heart, Fall 2026 at the Laura Pels Theatre in the Harold & Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre; Book and Additional Lyrics by Kait Kerrigan; Music and Lyrics by Anne Eisendrath and Ian Eisendrath; Choreographed by Mandy Moore, Directed by Christopher Ashley. Synopsis: A young surfer’s life is cut short. A stranger suddenly has a second chance. And the life-force of one beating heart drives two families and a medical team through 24 hours that couldn’t matter more. Playwright Kerrigan (The Great Gatsby) and composers Anne Eisendrath and Ian Eisendrath (of KPop Demon Hunters) join forces with Tony Award-winning director Ashley and choreographer Moore (Taylor Swift’s Eras tour) to bring “undeniable theatrical life to Maylis de Kerangal’s 2014 novel Réparer les vivants. The production marks Roundabout’s first new Off Broadway musical in years.
- The Grief Eater Near North Bender, Winter 2027 at the Laura Pels Theatre in the Harold & Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre. By Dylan Guerra, Directed by Dustin Wills Synopsis: A creature stalks the woods near North Bender. It kills the person you love most, erasing them from your memory. A makeshift hunting party forms to track it down before it feeds again. This surreal comic fable follows a grieving ex, his fiercely loyal sister, and a partner who can’t remember the man he loved, as they join forces in a local pub to bring this creature down and reclaim what they’ve lost. Silver bullets are forged. Old wounds reopen. And these unlikely comrades confront the fact that restoring what they lost might hurt more than losing it. Produced in association with New York Theatre Workshop.
- The Vagina Monologues, Spring 2027 at the Laura Pels Theatre in the Harold & Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre. By V (formerly Eve Ensler), Directed by Noma Dumezweni. Performed in over 140 countries and translated into over fifty languages, this is the show that launched V-Day, a global movement to end violence against women and gender-expansive people. Based on 200 interviews which the playwright wrote into fictional monologues about sex, trauma, pleasure, and birth, The Vagina Monologues broke taboos, lifted shame, and empowered women to talk about things they never talked about before—from joy and desire to pain and violence. Now for its 30th anniversary, Roundabout premieres a new production of this ever-evolving, landmark work, directed by Olivier Award-winner and Tony Award-nominee Dumezweni.
