Musical theater fans will want to mark their calendars for the new season of Broadway in Birmingham. Six national touring productions are on the agenda for the 2024-2025 series, from classics such as “Les Miserables” and “Chicago” to more recent shows such as “Beetlejuice” and Six.”

All shows will be presented by the American Theatre Guild at the BJCC Concert Hall, which is part of the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex downtown. The concert hall, which seats about 3,000 people, is off 11th Avenue North, between 19th and 22nd streets North.

Here’s the full schedule announced on Wednesday by the American Theatre Guild:

CHICAGO (Nov. 19-24, 2024)

“Chicago” made its debut on Broadway in 1975, with music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and a book by Ebb and Bob Fosse (who also choreographed and directed the show). A 1996 revival upped the musical’s fame in a major way, winning six Tony Awards and turning the show into a mega-hit that continues its run on Broadway. (”Chicago” is currently playing at the Ambassador Theatre.) “Chicago” is the longest-running American musical in Broadway history, according to Playbill, and the second longest-running Broadway production ever, bested only by “Phantom of the Opera.”

The show’s fame has increased via revivals, national tours, regional productions and a 2002 movie version that won six Academy Awards. Here’s the storyline, as described on the website for the national tour: “Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, ‘Chicago’ is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who maliciously murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today’s tabloids.”

ANNIE (Jan. 14-19, 2025)

This iconic musical — featuring music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin, and a book by Thomas Meehan — was based on the comic strip “Little Orphan Annie.” The original Broadway production opened in 1977 and ran for nearly six years, winning seven Tony Awards including Best Musical. Revivals, national tours, regional productions and a movie franchise have increased the show’s fame over the years.

Here’s how Playbill describes the storyline: “A spunky orphan girl finds a home with a New York millionaire during the Depression, but must dodge the clutches of her evil orphanage mistress.” The touring production includes well-known songs such as “It’s the Hard Knock Life,” “Tomorrow” and “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile.”

SIX (Feb. 11-16, 2025)

This musical — with music, book, and lyrics by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss — offers a modern twist on the story of the six wives of Henry VIII, as told by the women in a no-holds-barred pop concert. Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Catherine Parr take turns describing the wrongs they faced from the British king, via songs such as “Don’t Lose Ur Head,” ‘Heart of Stone,” “Ex-Wives” and “I Don’t Need Your Love.” But the characters here aren’t presented as historical victims; they’re empowered queens engaged in a competitive sing-off.

“Six” opened on Broadway in 2021 and continues its run at the Lena Horne Theatre. The show won two Tony Awards in 2022, including Best Original Score.

LES MISÉRABLES (March 25-30, 2025)

The original Broadway production of “Les Mis” was a long-running sensation, opening in 1987 and closing in 2003 after 6,680 performances and eight Tony wins. The musical has continued to be a popular sensation over the years, via national tours, concert productions, a 2012 movie version and more. This revival of the show, presented by producer Cameron Mackintosh, features songs such as “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “Bring Him Home,” “One Day More,” “Master of the House” and more.

“Everything about ‘Les MIserables’ is epic,” Alec Harvey said in a 2014 review for AL.com. “Based on the Victor Hugo classic, the tale of life and death, love and loss, right and wrong and revolution in France covers much of the 19th century. The score — the show is sung-through, with very little dialogue — is sweeping and operatic.”

BEETLEJUICE (May 6-11, 2025)

Based on Tim Burton’s 1988 movie, the stage version of “Beetlejuice” features music and lyrics by Eddie Perfect and a book by Scott Brown and Anthony King. The musical opened on Broadway in April 2018, closed in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic and reopened on Broadway for a run in 2022-2023.

“Based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film, ‘Beetlejuice’ tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes,” the show’s website says. “With an irreverent book, an astonishing set and a score that’s out of this Netherworld.”

Alabama audiences may feel a special connection to “Beetlejuice” via the movie version. One of the characters in Burton’s film, interior designer Otho Fenlock, was played by Birmingham actor Glenn Shadix (1952-2010). On the tour, Abe Goldfarb has the role of Otho.

TINA: THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL (June 24-29, 2025)

This jukebox musical focuses on the life and career of rock legend Tina Turner, and includes hit songs such as “Private Dancer,” “Proud Mary,” “Shake a Tail Feather,” “Nutbush City Limits,” “River Deep Mountain High” and “What’s Love Got to Do with It?” Written by Katori Hall and directed by Phyllida Lloyd, “Tina” ran on Broadway from 2019 to 2022.

“From humble beginnings in Nutbush, Tennessee, to her transformation into the global Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Tina Turner didn’t just break the rules, she rewrote them,” the show’s website says. “This new hit stage musical, presented in association with Tina Turner herself, reveals the untold story of a woman who dared to defy the bounds of her age, gender and race.”
