Let’s start with the reunion—this is kind of a big deal. The three leading ladies of Hairspray are coming together for a one-night-only event called Mama, I’m A Big Girl Now , happening December 13, 2025, in Zilkha Hall. They’re not just singing hits—they’re bringing wigs, choreography, and stories from their two-decade friendship. Think of it as a musical scrapbook, filled with Broadway nostalgia and personal milestones, from their early days in theatre to finding love and even becoming moms. It's going to be a heartfelt mix of humor, music, and genuine connection.
Then, in early 2026, the legendary Bernadette Peters will grace Sarofim Hall on February 6 for what promises to be an unforgettable night. If you’ve never seen her live, this is the moment. She’ll be performing beloved classics from composers like Sondheim, Rodgers and Hammerstein, and Jerry Herman. It’s not just a concert—it’s a masterclass in stage presence, emotion, and timeless music, delivered by one of Broadway’s most celebrated performers.
Following that, on April 17, Eva Noblezada will make her Houston debut in concert at Zilkha Hall. Coming off her role in Cabaret on Broadway, Eva’s bringing a set that blends musical theatre favorites with pop tunes, all reimagined with her unique, smoky style. It’s quirky, soulful, and deeply personal—a glimpse into her musical journey and why she fell in love with the stage in the first place.
Subscriptions are already on sale, and single tickets open up to the public starting August 18. So if you’ve been craving a taste of Broadway magic without the New York zip code, this is your chance.
