Broadway in Indianapolis 2025–26 season adds debut tours, with Les Misérables opening in November
New touring productions and returning blockbusters scheduled across two downtown venues
Indianapolis’ main Broadway touring series has set a 2025–2026 lineup that combines long-running titles with newer tours making their first appearance in the city. The schedule spans November 2025 through June 2026, with performances split between Clowes Memorial Hall and the Murat Theatre at Old National Centre.
The season opens with Les Misérables (Nov. 4–9, 2025) at Clowes Memorial Hall, followed by Hamilton (Dec. 2–14, 2025) at the Murat Theatre. The series continues with MJ The Musical (Jan. 13–18, 2026) at the Murat, The Wiz (Mar. 17–22, 2026) at Clowes, Clue (Apr. 14–19, 2026) at the Murat, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (May 5–10, 2026), and concludes with & Juliet (Jun. 16–21, 2026) at Clowes.
How the lineup reflects national touring patterns
The season structure mirrors a broader touring-market approach: anchoring packages with high-demand, established properties while positioning newer titles as event stops. Hamilton returns to Indianapolis as part of its ongoing national touring footprint, while newer productions such as MJ The Musical and & Juliet have been expanding through multi-city runs that rely on major markets and strong subscription bases.
The inclusion of Clue also signals the continued strength of stage adaptations built on widely recognized intellectual property. Such productions often tour efficiently because of flexible staging requirements and broad audience familiarity, and they tend to play well in shorter engagement windows common to touring series.
Venue rotation and what it means for audiences
Programming is divided between Clowes Memorial Hall on the Butler University campus and the Murat Theatre at Old National Centre downtown. The Murat, located at 502 N. New Jersey St., regularly hosts large touring productions and other live entertainment, while Clowes has been a long-standing home for touring Broadway in the region.
Clowes Memorial Hall: Les Misérables, The Wiz, & Juliet
Murat Theatre: Hamilton, MJ The Musical, Clue, Beauty and the Beast
Ticket rollout and access
The season’s sales plan follows the common subscription-first model used by many touring presenters: renewals are prioritized before new subscriptions and single-show sales. Performance weeks are scheduled in the traditional touring cadence, with multiple evening shows and weekend matinees.
Season programming runs from early November 2025 through late June 2026, with most productions scheduled for one-week engagements.
While the touring calendar is set, individual-show ticket availability typically expands closer to each engagement date. Patrons seeking accessible seating and services generally need to coordinate in advance, as availability can vary by performance.
