2025 Shows

Get ready for an exhilarating lineup of 2025 shows at Theatre By The Sea! Kicking off the season is Always… Patsy Cline (May 28 – June 21, 2025). This musical, based on the true story of a pen-pal friendship between the famous country singer Patsy Cline and Louise Seger from Houston, will tug at your heartstrings as it traces their correspondence and bonds up to Patsy’s untimely death in 1963.

Following this heartfelt production is the feel-good musical Waitress (June 25 – July 19, 2025). Composed by the exceptionally talented Sara Bareilles, this show focuses on Jenna, an expert pie maker facing an unexpected pregnancy while stuck in a loveless marriage. Watch her journey of self-discovery and empowerment as she strives to achieve her dream of opening a pie shop, offering a delightful mix of humor and warmth.

Next, we have Hairspray, a bright and buoyant musical set in 1962 Baltimore. Follow Tracy Turnblad, the big girl with big dreams, as she dances her way onto TV and into the heart of teen idol Link Larkin. Tracy becomes a local star and uses her newfound fame to fight for racial integration, all while keeping her signature ‘do intact.

Rounding out the season is Heartbreak Hotel, an official Elvis Presley bio-musical that delves into the life of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. This show will explore the pivotal moments in Elvis’s life and career, giving the audience a closer look at the man behind the legend through the eyes of those who knew him best.
