Beau The Musical is heading uptown! Following a sold out, extended run, the critically acclaimed original musical will move to Out of the Box Theatrics’ new home at St. Luke’s Theatre (308 West 46th Street). The production will begin performances on Monday, October 13, 2025 and open Monday, October 27, 2025. Fans can sign up at www.beauthemusical.com for exclusive access prior to the general on sale on Wednesday, September 3 at 10:00 AM.
Set in Nashville and Memphis, Tennessee, Beau the Musical features eight actor-musicians telling the story of Ace Baker – a young queer singer-songwriter whose life is forever changed when he discovers his deceased grandfather, Beau, is actually still alive. Family secrets unravel as Ace rushes to make up for lost time with a man who changed his life by putting a guitar in his hand.
Matt Rodin (National Tour: Company; Off-Broadway: All the World’s a Stage), who has been with Beau The Musical for over seven years through all stages of its development, will reprise his critically acclaimed performance as Ace Baker. Additional casting will be announced soon.
The world premiere of Beau The Musical was presented earlier this summer in Greenwich Village at Theatre 154, currently operated by Out of the Box Theatrics. After opening to rave reviews, the run was extended by popular demand. Last month, it was announced that Out of the Box Theatrics would relocate to a new permanent home at St. Luke’s Theatre on West 46th Street, which created an opportunity for Beau The Musical to have an extended life in the midtown theatre district.
Beau The Musical was developed through readings at The Directors Company, The Musical Theatre Factory, Roundabout Theatre Company’s Oscar Hammerstein Festival at The Bucks County Playhouse, and Lincoln Center’s Broadway Songbook Series. Following a presentation at the 2019 Adirondack Theatre Festival, Sony Masterworks Broadway released the show’s world premiere recording.
Beau The Musical is produced by Bryan McCaffrey and Leah Michalos in association with The Storyline Project and Out Of The Box Theatrics.
