Drury Lane Theatre in Oakbrook releases its 2026-27 season, with a number of favorite show and musicals.

The season kicks off with the wedding of the season in “Father of the Bride;” holy hilarity with the Little Sisters of Hoboken in “Nunsense;” the toe-tapping tribute to a rock ’n’ roll pioneer in “Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story;" for the holidays the heartwarming family classic filled with optimism in “Annie;” and the musical office rebellion in heels “9 to 5.”

“When my grandfather first raised the curtain in 1949, he created something special: a place where families discovered the magic of live theater,” Kyle DeSantis, president of Drury Lane Theatre, said in a news release. “Today, as we embark on our 77th season, my family and I are honored to carry forward the legacy as our neighborhood’s gathering place for captivating stories, outstanding hospitality and unforgettable experiences.”
