(Washington)—The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts announces its 2025–2026 theater season featuring Tony Award®–winning Best Musicals, astounding illusions, family entertainment, and more.

“There is truly a great theater season of excitement and joy coming to the Kennedy Center,” said Senior Vice President of Artistic Programming and Executive Producer of Theater, Jeffrey Finn. “I couldn’t be more proud to feature a season filled with Best Musicals from Broadway, including three Tony®–winning original Best Musicals: The Outsiders, Moulin Rouge! The Musical, and Spamalot.”

Broadway at the Kennedy Center kicks-off in December when Monty Python’s Spamalot (December 16, 2025–January 4, 2026) finds its grail on the Opera House stage. Spamalot makes a triumphant return following a critically-acclaimed Broadway production that was named a New York Times “Critic’s Pick.” Audiences can then join the razzle-dazzle jazz babies of Chicago(March 31–April 5, 2026) as they take no prisoners in the record-breaking, Tony Award®–winning production.
