Marking 30 years since the release of the iconic film, The Full Monty (Monday 28 June – Saturday 3 July 2027) comes to Birmingham in June 2027.  Gaz and his mates are down on their luck, but they are determined to fight back and bare a little more than they ever thought they would have to.

When teenager Marty McFly is accidentally sent back to 1955 in a time machine built by the eccentric Doc Brown, he must race against the clock to put things right - and get back to the future.

Birmingham audiences are in for a treat with a spectacular summer line‑up, bringing two much‑loved musical favourites to the stage.

In July, the Royal Shakespeare Company’s smash hit production Matilda The Musical (Wednesday 1 July – Sunday 2 August 2026), based on Roald Dahl’s beloved book, bursts into life on stage telling the story of one extraordinary girl, with one extraordinary mind. Featuring much-loved original songs penned by Tim Minchin, this joyous story of bravery and rebellion has won over 100 international awards.

In August, everyone’s favourite Scottish nanny will be packing up her suitcase and heading to Birmingham for the touring premiere of Mrs. Doubtfire (Thursday 13 August - Saturday 19 September 2026). Featuring all the laugh out loud moments from the iconic movie, plus fabulous new songs and dazzling dance numbers, Mrs. Doubtfire is a hilarious and heartfelt story about holding onto your loved ones against all odds.

Continuing Birmingham Hippodrome’s commitment to supporting new works and emerging artists the Patrick Studio will host several new productions in 2026.

Newly announced, heart-warming adventure One Tiny Penguin (Saturday 5 December 2026 – Sunday 3 January 2027) will play in the Patrick Studio this festive season. Created for everyone aged three and over, this is the third show in the Hippodrome’s My First Musical series, produced by the organisation’s New Musical Theatre department. One Tiny Penguin explores the importance of friendship, bravery and overcoming obstacles. Every year a polar bear is chosen to light up the Northern Lights. This year, the special job falls to Lumi, but there's a small problem, he’s not a polar bear at all, he’s just One Tiny Penguin! Lumi must gather all his courage to travel the world, from his home in the North Pole, to Chile and South Africa - all the way to the South Pole to light up the sky.

The Hippodrome’s New Work & Artist Development Department will showcase new work from eight Birmingham-based artists with Origins Festival: Celebrating New Work (Monday 11 – Saturday 16 May 2026). Origins Festival will feature workshops, double-bill performances and the opportunity to be the first audience to experience exciting new work. This will be the culmination of the Hippodrome’s 18-month Origins programme, which offered artists time and space to develop their practice, explore new ideas, and connect with a community of peers.

In August, Birmingham Hippodrome will partner with National Youth Music Theatre to bring three new productions to the Patrick Studio.

Young lovers are caught between prejudice and warring street gangs in a seminal retelling of Romeo and Juliet. From the first notes to the final breath, West Side Story (Thursday 6 - Saturday 8 August 2026), is one of the most memorable musicals and greatest love stories of all time.

Stiles and Drewe’s imaginatively empowering piece of theatre, Just So (Thursday 13 - Saturday 15 August 2026), weaves together five of Rudyard Kipling’s tales into a wonderous tale of personal courage, individuality and friendship.

Every Day (Thursday 20 - Saturday 22 August 2026), is a new musical with a contemporary pop score. Every day, ‘A’ wakes up in a different teenager’s body with no warning of where or who it will be. Exploring the inner thoughts and feelings of their host, A’s only goals in life are to not intervene and to give each host a good day. That is until they meet Rhiannon...

Later in August, British Youth Music Theatre will partner with Birmingham Hippodrome for new folk musical Sea Change (Friday 28 - Sunday 30 August 2026), which blends myth and modern Britain in this shanty-inspired reimagination of Selkie folklore where young people make life-shaping choices and communities unite in the face of change.

In October, Jeezus! (Wednesday 21 - Saturday 24 October 2026), arrives in the Patrick Studio. A sinful, heart-pounding mix of live music, dark humour and Latin heat; Jeezus! tackles colonialism, religion, and queer awakening.  Winner of the UNTAPPED Award, it was a standout hit at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe.

Tickets for all new season shows will go on sale to Friends of Birmingham Hippodrome on Thursday 16 April at 11am and on general sale on Monday 20 April at 11am. Tickets for all shows can be booked at birminghamhippodrome.com
