Setting the Stage for your 2026-27 KeyBank Broadway Series Visit

Prepare to be spellbound on your next trip to the Playhouse Square District because the 2026-27 KeyBank Broadway Series is upon us! Explore Euclid Avenue to discover iconic architecture, modern dining, premier entertainment, and magical memories waiting to be made. Allow us to set the stage for you with specially curated suggestions for this season’s visits.  

The North American tour of Death Becomes Her launches here in Cleveland this week. Don’t let the night of glamour and head-spinning surprises end – stop by Encore, one of PSQ District’s newest locations. This refined cocktail bar offers a variety of experimental and classic drinks. Make sure you try their new fall menu, available beginning September 9, just in time for Death Becomes Her.

Later this season, escape from Cleveland’s January chill with a visit to Greece and the fan-favorite musical Mamma Mia! Stay warm with a cup of coffee at The Brasserie. Then grab your girls (or Dynamos!) for small bites at Bin 216, including a taste of Greece – the Fig & Prosciutto Flatbread.

Boop-oop-a-doop to the PSQ District in February for Boop! This new musical explores the life of an iconic cartoon’s journey through Manhattan. It’s the perfect time for you to Explore Euclid Avenue. A Cleveland minute rivals a New York minute when you can hop from dinner at Danny Boys Pizza (coming to the PSQ District early 2027), the show and dessert all within the same block.

Maybe Happy Ending celebrates community and connectivity, much like Something Good Social Kitchen where every meal purchased helps to feed someone in need or someone deserving. Recharge before the show with one of their imaginative and tasty sandwiches or try their new wings when you see this new Tony Award-winning musical.

Get swept up in the power of enchanting dining with your visit to District. Have a romantic and memorable meal and try one of their specialty cocktails – The Music of the Night, inspired by our next KeyBank Broadway show, The Phantom of the Opera. Then, walk under the iconic Playhouse Square Chandelier presented by GE Lighting, a Savant company, on your way to see another magnificent chandelier in the production.

Enjoy the bright lights and city life of Cleveland before Cuban Nights at Buena Vista Social Club. In the PSQ District you can stop by the patios of 1942 Tacos & Tequila, Republic Food + Drink, Parnell’s Pub and Sittoo’s. This musical will have you dancing in your seat, so on your way home bop over for a night cap at The Bulkley Bar.

For all the brave Gryffindors heading to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, we recommend trying Lionheart Reserve, coming Fall 2026 to the PSQ District. Next, visit the hall that rivals Hogwarts' Great Hall, Hofbräuhaus – perfect for all the witches and wizards in your family. Top off the magical night with a trip to Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shop.
