The season starts in September with "Buena Vista Social Club," then Oct. 27 to Nov. 1 is Alicia Keys’ "Hells Kitchen."
"The Great Gatsby" is here in mid-November, and the Rodgers & Hammerstein classic “The Sound of Music” is at Shea's just before Christmas.
"Death Becomes Her" takes to the stage in February, and "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" follows next March and April.
Three additional Broadway shows: "Beetlejuice," "Jersey Boys," and "Six" will also be featured at Shea’s as part of the Gallagher 2026-2027 Encore Series.
