WAITING IN THE WINGS
Coming soon to Playhouse Square
From the moment guests enter the gateways and see the dazzling marquees of the Playhouse Square District, we hope to create unforgettable experiences. As valued Season Ticket Holders for the KeyBank Broadway Series, we are excited to give you a sneak peek at the new offerings that you will soon be able to enjoy in the PSQ District.
For pre-and post-show food and drink options, The Bulkley Building boasts two new venues – The Brasserie and The Bulkley Bar – just steps away from your seat in one of our historic theaters.
With the recent addition of the historic Greyhound Building, we are not only expanding the Playhouse Square District, but we are continuing to re-imagine indoor and outdoor spaces in our neighborhood to enhance your time here.
Euclid Avenue will be home to another new dining option in the former Cowell and Hubbard building, The Friars’ Table; while the Euclid News Marketplace will open in the Hanna Building directly across the street from the theaters.
Playhouse Square season ticket holders will be the first in the country to experience new touring productions. THE NOTEBOOK will launch its North American tour in Cleveland, kicking off our 2025–26 KeyBank Broadway Series in September 2025. This is a direct result of Ohio legislation dedicating tax credits to theatrical productions in the state.
The Tony Award-winning musical SUFFS also joins the 2025–26 KeyBank Broadway Series line-up, taking the stage in Cleveland in February 2026.
Stay tuned for future announcements as we reveal more shows coming to the 2025–26 KeyBank Broadway Series over the coming weeks and months.
Now is an exciting time to be a part of our KeyBank Broadway Series family, and we look forward to sharing more developments that will enhance your visits to the Playhouse Square District.

THANK YOU
We wish to extend our gratitude to KeyBank for their title sponsorship of the KeyBank Broadway Series and for being a consistent, engaged, and true partner to Playhouse Square, our audiences, district, and community.
