This season's final shows are gearing up to start performances in the coming weeks. When all is said and done, there will be 12 musicals that have opened during the 2025-2026 season, 6 new musicals and 6 musical revivals. What's cool is that each of them has at least one connection to another. Talk about one degree of separation!
