Broadway’s magic returns to The Shops at Columbus Circle with the beloved Broadway Under the Stars series. Enjoy captivating performances from today’s top shows and intimate conversations with the stars, moderated by Broadway alum, George Psomas.
This year’s five-part series launches on November 12 and continues every Thursday through December 17. Visit the 2nd Floor Stage to watch in-person, or check back right here at BroadwayWorld to tune in live! The November 12th event will feature performances from the casts of:
Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)
Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) is an uncommonly surprising musical about finding common ground. Tony Award® nominees Sam Tutty and Christiani Pitts star as Dougal and Robin, an unlikely pair who spend three life-changing days together in NYC. With a score of instant classics and a story that’s equally hilarious and heartfelt, Two Strangers is a completely original musical that “achieves something magical” (Vulture).
Maybe Happy Ending
Winner of 6 Tony Awards®, Maybe Happy Ending tells a tender story of connection and rediscovery between two obsolete helper-bots who learn what it means to feel alive. Directed by Tony Award winner Michael Arden (Parade), this visually stunning and deeply human new musical has been hailed as “astonishing and joyful” (The New York Times).
The Heart
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 Kait Kerrigan (The Great Gatsby) and musical mavericks Anne Eisendrath and Ian Eisendrath (of KPop Demon Hunters) join forces with Tony Award®-winning director Christopher Ashley (Roundabout Theatre Company’s new artistic director) and choreographer Mandy Moore (Taylor Swift’s Eras tour) to bring undeniable theatrical life to Maylis de Kerangal’s 2014 novel Réparer les vivants, in Roundabout’s first new Off-Broadway musical in years.
Performances in future weeks will include the casts of Six, The Outsiders, Schmigadoon!, The Fantasticks, Wanted, The Book of Mormon, & Juliet, and more! View the full 2026 schedule.
