With the 77th Annual Tony Awards on the horizon—winners will be named June 16—Playbill is looking back at the 2023–2024 Broadway season with Cover to Cover: Broadway Opening Nights. Pre-orders for the new offering are exclusively available via The Playbill Store, with orders due to ship in early June.
An inaugural offering for this season, this Playbill publication gathers every Playbill cover from every new show that opened this season in one Playbill-sized booklet, along with each production's title page.
The Broadway season is determined via Tony Awards eligibility. For the 2023–2024 season, dates ranged from April 27, 2023, to April 25, 2024. Thirty-nine shows opened during that time: Grey House, Once Upon a One More Time, Just for Us, Here Lies Love, The Cottage, Back to the Future: The Musical, The Shark Is Broken, El Mago Pop, Purlie Victorious: A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch, Melissa Etheridge: My Window, Jaja’s African Hair Braiding, Merrily We Roll Along, Gutenberg! The Musical!, I Need That, Harmony, Spamalot, How to Dance in Ohio, Appropriate, Prayer for the French Republic, Days of Wine and Roses, Doubt: A Parable, The Notebook, An Enemy of the People, Water for Elephants, The Who's Tommy, The Outsiders, Lempicka, The Wiz, Suffs, Stereophonic, Hell's Kitchen, Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, The Heart of Rock and Roll, Patriots, Mary Jane, Illinoise, Uncle Vanya, The Great Gatsby, and Mother Play.
And Cover to Cover isn't the only way Broadway fans can celebrate the season. Playbill also offers individual opening night Playbills for purchase, along with a special poster that includes all Playbill covers from the entire 2023–2024 Broadway season, including continuing long runners. Both are also Playbill Store exclusives.
