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.

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.
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)

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?
