QuickTake:

Five musicals, including “Beetlejuice,” “Mrs. Doubtfire,” “Mamma Mia” and “Tina: The Tina Turner Musical” are part of the 2025-26 Broadway on Eugene series at the Hult Center. 

That undead guy in stripes whose name you’d best not say three times. Everyone’s favorite cross-dressing Scottish nanny. Island vacationers who can’t stop breaking out into Abba songs. Soul and rock music legend Tina Turner. And Mr. Boddy — that’s right, the victim in the board game “Clue.”

They’re all characters due on stage as part of the 2025–26 Broadway in Eugene series at the Hult Center. Performances by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and a return engagement of “The Book of Mormon” are add-on attractions.

The Hult Center announced the lineup for the series Monday, April 21, at an event that drew about 200 patrons.

Season subscription renewals and new subscriptions to the series are available at the Hult Center, with single ticket sales to be announced this summer.

Two of the shows — “The Book of Mormon,” scheduled for Jan 2–4, 2026, and the Ailey dance performances, scheduled for March 17–18, 2026 — are considered “add-ons,” and are not part of the five-show season package.

Here’s what to know about the 2025–26 main season shows:

“Mrs. Doubtfire” (Nov. 21–23, 2025) is a musical based on the 1993 Robin Williams movie about a recently divorced actor who disguises himself as a female housekeeper to spend more time with his children.

“Tina: The Tina Turner Musical” (Feb. 5–8, 2026) is a jukebox musical tracing Turner’s life and music as she rises from Nutbush, Tennessee, to rock and soul superstardom. The book was co-written by Pulitzer winner Katori Hall.

“Beetlejuice” (March 3–8, 2026) is a musical based on Tim Burton’s 1988 movie about a recently deceased couple who employ a “bio-exorcist” demon in an attempt to rid their home of annoying new (live) tenants.

“Mamma Mia!” (May 6–10) is the longest-running jukebox musical in Broadway history — and a revival of the show, fueled by Abba songs, is playing on Broadway now. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the musical of a young woman on a fictional Greek island, wondering about the identity of her father.

“Clue” (July 10–12) is a musical based on the board game about a murder (Mr. Boddy, naturally, is the victim) and six colorful suspects. The show has an interactive feature in which audience members randomly select cards showing which suspect is guilty, what weapon was used and in which room the murder occurred; as a result, the show has 216 possible endings.

Two performances are scheduled as “add-on” shows:

“The Book of Mormon” (Jan. 2–4, 2026), the winner of nine Tony Awards, including best musical, follows a pair of mismatched missionaries in Africa. The show was co-written by “South Park” creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker.

The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (March 17–18, 2026), founded by Ailey in 1958, has performed for an estimated 25 million people at theaters in 48 states and 71 counties. The company continues to perform works by Ailey, who died in 1989, and also commissions new pieces.
