Stages St. Louis Announces ‘Once,’ ‘Les Miz,’ and a ‘Clue’ sequel in ’27

Stages St. Louis is proud to announce its 2027 Season, featuring three distinct productions that explore the power of connection, courage and unexpected twists: ONCE, LES MISÉRABLES and CLUE: ANOTHER BLOODY MURDER.

From a bittersweet story of two musicians brought together by chance to one of musical theatre’s most celebrated epics and a funny new murder mystery, the 2027 Season will bring unforgettable stories and characters to the Ross Family Theatre at the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center.

“I love the range this season has.” Producing Artistic Director, Gayle Seay, says.“Once is intimate, it pulls you in through its music and the quiet connection between two people. Les Misérables is epic, not only in its scale, but in the size of its emotions. And Clue: Another Bloody Murder is deadly funny, with all the twists, surprises, and wonderfully outrageous characters that audiences love. Together, they show three completely different ways that theatre brings us closer.”



ONCE
May 28 – June 27
Set on the streets of Dublin, ONCE follows two musicians whose unexpected connection brings new life to their music — and new possibilities to their futures. Featuring the Academy Award-winning song “Falling Slowly,” this intimate musical is a moving story of love, longing, and the courage to begin again.

LES MISÉRABLES
July 23 – August 22
The legendary musical LES MISÉRABLES is a sweeping tale of love, sacrifice, and redemption. Set against the unrest of 19th-century France, this epic story brings unforgettable characters and one of musical theatre’s most powerful scores to life.

CLUE: ANOTHER BLOODY MURDER
September 17 – October 17
Reclusive rock star Bobby Boddie invites six suspicious guests to his secluded mansion for a mysterious celebration. When a blizzard traps them inside and the bodies begin to pile up, no one is above suspicion. CLUE: ANOTHER BLOODY MURDER is a deadly funny whodunit filled with familiar weapons, outrageous suspects, and bloody good twists. Stages is thrilled to be among the first to premiere this new installment from the minds that brought us our #1 selling show in our 40 year history – Clue!


“Stages St. Louis prides itself in creating theatre that brings us closer.” Mosbacher Family Executive Producer, Andrew Kuhlman, says. “I cannot wait to see how this mission guides our 2027 Season. Audiences can expect to be closer than ever before to romance, inspiration, and mystery as they come to life at The Kirkwood Performing Arts Center.”
