The next season of Broadway in Chattanooga has been announced, and all six shows will be at the newly restored Tivoli Theatre in 2027. Here’s what’s coming:
  • “Waitress” | Feb. 19-21
  • “Beetlejuice” | March 12-14
  • “The Outsiders” | April 6-11
  • “A Beautiful Noise” | July 16-18
  • “Jersey Boys” | Aug. 10-15
  • “Beauty and the Beast” | Sept. 14-19
When we asked NOOGAtoday readers what show they wanted to see, one person said: “Beetlejuice” (they wrote it three times, but I’m not risking that), so I hope they’re happy. Tickets go on sale later this year.

Bonus: The Tivoli Theatre Foundation announced “Wicked” will make its Chattanooga debut in the 2028 Broadway season. Stay tuned for more on that.
Which show are you most excited about?

There’s something whimsical about Asheville, NC, in summertime; cool mountain air, concerts under the stars, and award-winning Appalachian flavors best served al fresco.

No matter how you fill a visit, you’ll leave reinvigorated. The proximity to nature means you can spend the morning exploring iconic trails and the afternoon at interactive art exhibits, then grab a rooftop drink + sleep in a luxury hotel.

The Blue Ridge has a magic we can’t quite describe — you’ll get it when you get there.

News Notes

Today Is

Earth Day, a global celebration of environmental activism and planet-friendly volunteering. Here are several ways to celebrate in Chattanooga. Another small way you can help? Pick up one piece of trash. If everyone in our city did that, we’d clean up nearly 200,000 pieces.

Traffic

Heads up, Signal Mountain residents and commuters: The W Road will be closed today from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for maintenance and roadside mowing. Roberts Mill Road will be closed Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. for a community road cleanup. (WDEF)

Community

A new farmers market is coming to Highland Park Commons, with a grand opening this Saturday, April 25 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The HILO Market will feature fresh food, coffee, and picnic tables for enjoying your finds on-site. Parking is free, and pets are welcome.

Announced

First-time homebuyers in Chattanooga could get up to $21,000 in down payment assistance through a new city program. The initiative aims to make homeownership more accessible as costs rise. See if you qualify. (Local 3 News)

Number

39,000. That’s how many fans visited Erlanger Park during Opening Week. Three of the six games were sold out, with an average of 6,500 fans per game. Still haven’t been? The Lookouts will be back at home for a six-game series starting Tuesday, April 28. Grab tickets.

Shop

Mother’s Day is just a few weeks away — now’s the time to find a gift that feels truly special. Think beyond the usual with something they’ll reach for again and again, like a travel-friendly jewelry box personalized with their initial or a top-rated Barefoot Dreams cardigan they’ll never want to take off.*

The Wrap

Personally, I’m most excited about “Beauty and the Beast” coming to Chattanooga. It was my favorite Disney movie as a kid, and I still catch myself randomly singing the songs from time to time. If I can snag tickets, it’ll be so neat to see it come to life on stage. Which show do you want to see the most?
