Beaches the Musical on Broadway!

If you’re also a child of the 80s and 90s when you hear the name “Beaches” your eyes most likely well up in tears. Or you start belting the 1988 Bette Midler song “Wind Beneath My Wings”.

As nostalgia is currently going wild everywhere, it’s no surprise beachesthemusical opened today after weeks of packed previews and acclaimed reviews.

Similar but different to the movie, and reimagined with a whole new soundtrack and score, it was lovely to watch our beloved brash Jersey girl and her prissy precocious new best friend meet on the Atlantic City boardwalk, become penpals, and then share the trials and tribulations of growing up together with miles in between. It was especially nice to remember a time pre-internet when it was the most exciting thing in the word to see a physical letter in the mail arrive from someone you desperately missed.

While one had wealth in the form of freedom and the other was dictated by the confines of the upper class, they found what they needed in each other to form a lifelong friendship.

Beaches the Musical opens on Broadway today at the Majestic Theater after a sold-out award winning international premiere and runs through Sunday, September 6th, 2026.

Before reading the playbill I didn’t know that the movie was based on a New York Times bestseller written by Iris Rainer Dart. I’m curious if the show is more in line with the novel. It will clearly be my next read to find out!

Bring your best friend, your family, your tissues, your memories, and a big smile, as they have fun photo ops and of course a beautiful theatre-wide ocean front feel. Not to mention signature drinks with fun names. You may even be featured on the screen during intermission!

Thanks so much for hosting us!
