In 2025-26, Fort Worth audiences will enjoy a record-breaking 14 shows during the touring season at Bass Performance Hall — that's three more than last season.
“It looks like we did it again,” says Performing Arts Fort Worth president and CEO Dione Kennedy. “After setting the 2024-25 Broadway season as our biggest yet, we wanted to raise the bar just a little bit higher for this year's Broadway at the Bass season."
Nearly all of the shows are set in the past, spanning from medieval England to 1980s America, and there's a healthy mix of new titles and old favorites.
