Broadway in Wilmington, Del Announces Incredible 2025-26 Lineup

Wow! Once again I’m incredibly IMPRESSED by the stacked line up of shows coming to our area with Broadway in Wilmington.

This year's lineup in Wilmington, Del is filled with massive hit shows that are TONY winners (and some of my personal favorite shows). It’s all worth the short trip to Wilmington, Del., by the way.

I’ll outline the list of shows that are coming to the area down below, but first, lemme tell you why Wilmington is worth the short trip.

Wilmington is Home to an Incredible Broadway Experience

I’ve seen several shows in Wilmington, Del since last year, and since then, I make it a point to see everything I possibly can in town.

Since early 2024, I’ve seen every Broadway show in the beautiful and stunning Playhouse on Rodney Square (located inside the historic Hotel DuPont). It’s such a modern and state of the art theater.

AND!

You’ll be blown away by how easy it is to get to the Playhouse. It’s a VERY short ride away on Amtrak (or SEPTA). I typically board a (very affordable) Amtrak train from 30th Street Station in Philly and in 30 minutes I am in downtown Wilmington where I can enjoy a nice (affordable) dinner before the show in the recently renovated theater.

If you’re driving, it’s a super easy trek down 95 a well by the way from Philly and the immediate suburbs. It’s under a 40 minute drive.

OK! Now that I’ve told you how awesome everything in Wilmington, let’s talk about this year’s lineup.

Broadway in Wilmington’s 2025-26 Line Up Is Exciting

Mrs. Doubtfire Makes Debut in Wilmington, Del.

It all starts with the Wilmington debut of MRS DOUBTFIRE. It’ll hit the stage in Wilmington from September 26-28, 2025.

Based on the beloved film, Mrs. Doubtifre tells the hysterical and heartfelt try of an out-of-work actor who will do anything for his kids.

I know what you’re thinking: there’s no way they could tell that incredible story without taking away from the movie. THAT what I expected when I saw it.

But that is NOT the case. In fact, I was blown away by how much the show kept heart and original intent of the show. It’s truly like a love letter to the character (and genius of Robin Williams even) that warms your heart. Nobody can replace Robin Williams and the producers of the show clearly knew that.

Book Of Mormon Returns to Wilmington, Del. in March 2026

Next up is the Book of Mormon which returns to Wilmington March 27-29, 2026.

If you’ve never seen this show, this is the perfect chance to see it. It follows the adventures of a mismatched pair of missionaries, sent halfway across the world to spread the Good Word.

The video shared above is from the original cast, by the way. This is an updated touring version of the show.

I also saw this show recently and was blown away that it taken me so many years to see it. It’s truly one of the funniest shows of all time.

Kinky Boots Also Returns to Wilmington, Del in 2026

I think I’m most excited for what’s hitting Wilmington, Del May 8 through the 10th, 2026. The TONY Award winning show FINALLY returns to Wilmington.

Set in a shoe factory in England, this TONY Award winning show is THE uplifting inspirational story of love and acceptance that we all need.

You'll LOVE the soundtrack because the Tony-winning score was created by the iconic Cyndi Lauper. The hilarious "uplifting book (was written) by four-time Tony winner, Harvey Fierstein" as well, by the way.
