Walton Arts Center just announced the 2026-27 P&G Broadway season, and it is a dynamic lineup full of sweeping romance, high-energy new musicals, literary favorites and beloved classics. It’s a season that invites longtime Broadway lovers and those new to Broadway to find themselves somewhere in the lineup.
“Five of the shows are coming straight from Broadway on their first national tours, making their Arkansas debut at Walton Arts Center, and one is a Broadway classic returning to Walton Arts Center,” said Jennifer Ross, vice president of programming. “The lineup has won a total of 25 Tony Awards, including two best musical awards. We are thrilled to bring these amazing shows to Northwest Arkansas.”
