Following an award-winning international premiere, Beaches, A New Musical—based on the eponymous best-selling novel that inspired the beloved Bette Midler–led film—will make its Broadway bow this spring at the Majestic Theatre at 245 West 44th Street near Eighth Avenue. Previews begin on March 27, 2026, ahead of an opening night on April 22, with the limited run set through September 6.
The show traces the lifelong friendship between Cee Cee and Bertie. “From pen pals to roommates to romantic rivals, Cee Cee and Bertie’s oil-and-water friendship perseveres through even the most tragic trials,” reads the official synopsis. The source material, written by Iris Rainer Dart, was first adapted for the screen in 1988, starring Midler as Cee Cee and Barbara Hershey as Hillary, and went on to become a tear-jerking pop-culture touchstone.
The stage adaptation is co-directed by Tony Award nominee and Emmy Award winner Lonny Price and Matt Cowart, with a score by Mike Stoller, lyrics by Dart herself, and a book by Dart and Thom Thomas. Jessica Vosk (Hell’s Kitchen, Wicked) and Kelli Barrett (Parade) star as the two protagonists, bringing powerhouse vocals and emotional heft to the iconic roles.
Long associated with classic Broadway spectacles, the Majestic provides a fitting home for a story that spans decades and emotion.
