Top 10 Broadway Shows in 2025

The must-see productions lighting up the NYC stage this year.

Hamilton
#1

Hamilton

Richard Rodgers Theatre

Even after all these years, Hamilton still feels like lightning in a bottle. The way it blends hip-hop with America’s founding story feels fresh every time. The energy in the room is electric—you feel it in your chest. Whether it’s your first or fifth time, the moment the lights go down, you’re hooked.
The Lion King
#2

The Lion King

Minskoff Theatre in New York

You can’t beat the magic of The Lion King. When the animals walk down the aisles during “Circle of Life,” it’s impossible not to get chills. The music, the costumes, the heart—it’s visually stunning and emotionally timeless. There’s a reason this show keeps winning over new generations year after year.
Wicked
#3

Wicked

Gershwin Theatre

There’s just something about Wicked that keeps pulling people back. Maybe it’s the unforgettable friendship between Elphaba and Glinda, maybe it’s those insane vocals, or maybe it’s the feeling that you’re watching Broadway history. It’s dazzling, funny, and sneakily emotional in the best way.
Death Becomes Her
#4

Death Becomes Her

Lunt-Fontanne Theatre New York, NY

New in 2025 and already a hit, this musical adaptation of the cult classic blends camp, comedy, and killer costumes with sharp songs. It’s got a glam-meets-ghoulish vibe, and the audience eats it up. Think Broadway meets beauty serum gone wild—and yes, it works surprisingly well.
Aladdin
#5

Aladdin

Box Office: New Amsterdam Theatre 214 West 42nd St. NY, NY

Aladdin brings pure Disney joy to the stage with a Genie who steals the spotlight every single night. The cave scene sparkles, the flying carpet still floats above the crowd, and the whole thing feels like stepping into a dream. It’s a great pick for families or anyone craving nostalgia.
MJ The Musical
#6

MJ The Musical

Neil Simon Theatre New York, NY

This show is more than a tribute—it’s a time machine into Michael Jackson’s creative genius. The choreography is unbelievable, and the performances are eerily spot-on. You’ll leave dancing, humming, and honestly just a little stunned at how much talent they pack into this stage.
Moulin Rouge
#7

Moulin Rouge

Al Hirschfeld Theatre, New York, NY

A wild, glittering fever dream set to some of the most iconic pop songs ever made. Moulin Rouge! is loud, proud, and unapologetically over-the-top. The love story is classic, but the vibe is pure 2025 energy. It’s impossible not to get swept up in the spectacle of it all.
Just In Time
#8

Just In Time

235 West 50th Street New York, NY 10019

One of 2025’s freshest shows, Just In Time is a soulful mix of romance and time travel wrapped in original music that actually feels modern. It’s not just smart—it’s heartfelt. Audiences are walking out teary-eyed and smiling, which is rare. Definitely one of this year’s quiet standouts.
Buena Vista Social Club
#9

Buena Vista Social Club

236 West 45th Street New York, NY 10036

This musical brings Cuban rhythm and history to the Broadway stage with such soul and swagger that you’ll feel like you’ve just stepped into Havana. The music is rich, the storytelling honest, and the dancing completely electric. It’s cultural, it’s musical, and it’s pure joy.
The Great Gatsby
#10

The Great Gatsby

The Broadway Theatre 53rd and Broadway, New York, NY 10019

Gatsby’s world explodes onto the stage with all the jazz, glitter, and tragic longing you’d expect. This musical adaptation goes big with 1920s style and modern sensibility. There’s something haunting and dazzling about it—like the green light itself, it lingers long after the curtain falls.
