Broadway Blockbusters Heading to Boston: ‘Spamalot’ and ‘Beetlejuice’ Set for Wang Theatre
The Boch Center announces a powerhouse comedy lineup, including the first Boston return of 'Spamalot' in nearly 20 years.
The Boch Center is bringing a double dose of comedy and spectacle to the historic Wang Theatre. Officials announced this week that two of Broadway’s most popular hits, Monty Python’s Spamalot and the ghost-with-the-most musical Beetlejuice, are officially slated for the 2026-2027 season.
The announcement comes with a special nod to comedy history: the news was timed to coincide with the anniversary of the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the source material for the Tony Award-winning Spamalot.
A Legendary Quest Returns For the first time in nearly two decades, Spamalot returns to Boston from October 6–11, 2026. Fans can expect the return of the Lady of the Lake, killer rabbits, and flying cows, accompanied by classic songs like “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.”

The Ghost with the Most is Back Following a massive demand during its previous runs, Beetlejuice will haunt the Wang Theatre from February 9–21, 2027. Based on Tim Burton’s beloved film, the musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz and her encounter with a "recently deceased" couple and a certain stripe-wearing demon.
