WASHINGTON — The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has unveiled its 2025–2026 theater season, promising a lineup of Broadway blockbusters, magical spectacles and family-friendly favorites. But this year’s announcement arrives under a cloud of political controversy.

…

Spamalot (Dec. 16, 2025–Jan. 4, 2026): The Tony Award–winning musical comedy returns with its over-the-top humor and classic Monty Python style.
Chicago (Mar. 31–Apr. 5, 2026): The long-running jazz-age musical returns to D.C. with its signature blend of drama, satire, and song.
Moulin Rouge! The Musical (June 16–July 5, 2026): This popular jukebox musical brings glitz, romance, and a high-energy soundtrack back to the Opera House.
Back to the Future: The Musical (July 7–19, 2026): Based on the iconic film, this sci-fi adventure arrives with music by Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard.
Mrs. Doubtfire (July 14–Aug. 2, 2026): The comedy-turned-musical tells the story of a father doing whatever it takes to stay connected to his kids.

… more …

(Family friendly indeed.)

1. Oh, my god, do you think they know?

Sorry, what a bunch of stupid, hypocritical idiots.

4. Shhhhhh! Also proves new director is not a theatre person and is totally incompetent like all t appointed.

2. "No more drag"

How will they pull of "Mrs Doubtfire"

[Ocelot II]

3. "Mrs. Doubtfire" is all drag for the whole show!

So what, exactly, is the difference between a man dressing up as a woman and drag?

[vanlassie]

5. Also add "The Birdcage."

7. Now THAT would leave a mark.

Great idea!

[MuseRider]

6. I LOVE the theater.

We don't really have it here where I live, too small here really but you can find it not too far away. This is wonderful. AND so much to choose from for the shows next season and almost for years to come! Maybe I should start playing again, the always need musicians and I do miss it.

8. Republicans have not always been against drag.

[Ocelot II]

9. Maybe they could also host a production of Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro,"

in which the character of Cherubino, a teenaged boy, is sung by a woman (mezzo-soprano) dressed as a man, and in which the "boy" Cherubino dresses up as a woman. Double drag!

10. Also most of Shakespeare.
