‘Beaches’ Musical Sets Pre-Broadway National Tour For Fall 2026
A new stage musical adaptation of Beaches will launch what producers are calling a pre-Broadway national tour in the fall of 2026.
Based on the 1985 novel by Iris Rainer Dart that was adapted into the hit 1988 movie starring Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey, the Beaches musical features music by Mike Stoller (of Leiber and Stoller fame), lyrics by Dart, and book by Dart & Thom Thomas. The musical had its international premiere at Theatre Calgary last year, with a cast that included Jessica Vosk as Cee Cee (the Midler role) and Kelli Barrett as Bertie (called Hillary in the movie and played by Hershey).
Casting and complete production team for the tour will be announced at a later date.
Producer Jennifer Maloney-Prezioso said, “It is a great honor to bring Beaches the Musical to theatres around the country on our pre-Broadway tour. We can’t wait to share this love story about friendship with US presenters,...
