Valentine’s Day on Broadway isn’t just for roses-and-chocolate couples: it's for best friends, situationships, theater lovers, heartbreakers, and anyone who wants a night out filled with big feelings and bigger performances. From swoony romances to glittering spectacles to the perfect “Galentine’s Day” show, here's your February guide to the Broadway productions that will make you feel something.
MOULIN ROUGE! THE MUSICAL
A high-voltage, red-hot spectacle set in the Parisian underworld, Moulin Rouge! follows the passionate love story between a starry-eyed writer and a dazzling cabaret performer. With pop hits, sparkling choreography, and visuals that feel like champagne bubbles, this show is pure sensory romance.
This is your go-big night out. Sequins! Ballads! Drama! Plus, with the show closing in July 2026, this season is your chance to see the iconic production while it’s still lighting up the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.
HADESTOWN
A haunting, indie-folk reinvention of Greek myth, Hadestown follows two parallel love stories: Orpheus and Eurydice, and Hades and Persephone. It’s lush, poetic, and emotionally rich, exploring love’s power to inspire, hope, and sometimes break your heart.Perfect for romantics who love a little depth with their date night. It’s beautifully bittersweet…and that makes the love feel even more real.
& JULIET
What if Juliet didn’t die at the end? This glittery, pop-powered musical rewrites Shakespeare with a jolt of girl power, self-discovery, and chart-topping hits. It celebrates all kinds of love—romantic, queer, platonic, and self-love.
For Galentine’s Day, first dates, or self-love celebrations. It’s joyful, hilarious, and refuses to let love be tragic.
MAYBE HAPPY ENDING
Set in futuristic Seoul, this touching new musical follows two retired Helperbots who unexpectedly fall in love. It’s tender, quirky, smart, and asks big questions about connection and what it means to love even when time is limited.
It’s the perfect choice for Valentine’s fans who prefer subtle sweetness over grand gestures. Bring tissues, and someone you adore.
THE GREAT GATSBY
Step into a world of jazz-age glamour, champagne wishes, and impossible love. This adaptation of The Great Gatsby brings the iconic story to life with music, spectacle, and the tragedy of a man chasing a love that never quite existed.Those who want luxe escapism with a dramatic edge. Think of it as a Valentine’s Day for the aesthetically inclined (and the emotionally chaotic).
WICKED
The ultimate story of friendship, courage, and two women who change each other’s lives forever. While romance takes a back seat, the love between Elphaba and Glinda is one of Broadway’s strongest and most meaningful bonds.
The perfect show for best friends. Celebrate found family, loyalty, and the people who make you who you are, for good.
