More this weekend

This list is the stage slice of the hand-checked board, pooled across the upcoming published weekends so a limited run that opens in three weeks is already here, and re-ranked as each weekend's board publishes. Every entry is tagged — Broadway, off-Broadway, musical, play, final week — and the event page carries the venue, the dates, and the price as verified against the box office, because a resale-only listing and a rush ticket are not the same night out.

FAQ

When is "this weekend"?

This list covers the weekend of Oct 16–18, 2026, and it refreshes automatically every week.

Does this list include off-Broadway?

Yes — Broadway houses, off-Broadway and off-off-Broadway runs, and the free outdoor stagings when they are on. Each entry is tagged so you can tell which it is at a glance, and the event page carries the venue, dates, and the verified price.

Why is a long-running show on a weekend list?

Because it is playing that weekend. Open runs share the list with limited engagements, and the tags say which is which — opening, previews, final week, closing soon — so a show you can see any time is easy to tell from one you cannot.
