Fifteen of the plays produced in the Broadway 2025 2026 Season are publicly available to read. A couple of this season’s musicals are adapted from novels; a third comes directly from a book of poems. I list the published plays alphabetically below by title (each linked for further information*), each followed by the date it opened (or will open) on Broadway this season, and a link to my review when available Several of the listed plays haven’t opened yet, and a couple of the books have an official publication date in the near future..

My hope is that at least two of the unpublished plays this season will soon be published: “Liberation” by Beth Wohl, and “Little Bear Ridge Road” by Samuel D. Hunter. Both playwrights have previously published plays worth tracking down.

Reading a Broadway play is a different experience than seeing one; I find that each experience enhances the other.
