Broadway’s Next Hit Musical comes to Luther College Sept. 12

The cast of Broadway’s Next Hit Musical will create and perform a spontaneous evening of music and laughter at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12, in the Center for Faith and Life (CFL) Main Hall at Luther College.

Broadway’s Next Hit Musical is the first performance in Luther College’s 2026-27 Center Stage Series.

“The performers in Broadway’s Next Hit Musical are master improvisers and incredibly creative at customizing their on-stage performance to match the entries from the local audience. This is going to be a hilariously fun night for everyone in attendance, and it’s appropriate for all ages,” said Susan Potvin, director of programming and outreach.

Tickets for Broadway’s Next Hit Musical can be purchased at tickets.luther.edu or at the Luther Ticket Office in the CFL. Contact the ticket office at tickets@luther.edu or 563-387-1357 for more information.

Under the direction of improv veterans Rob Schiffmann and Deb Rabbai, Broadway’s Next Hit Musical will present an original improvised awards show titled “The Phony Awards” on Sept. 12. Master improvisers will gather made-up, hit song suggestions from the audience. Then, the audience votes for their favorite song and watches as the cast turns this Phony Award-winning song into a full-blown, improvised musical. Every show is personalized to the audience.

“Everyone will be entertained by the unique storyline that evolves, not to mention amazed by the skill of the performers. I hope you’ll bring your families and friends for a memorable evening,” Potvin said.

Broadway’s Next Hit Musical has performed extensively throughout the United States, as well as internationally. When the group is not on the road, they perform regularly at 54 Below, a Broadway-themed supper club and nonprofit venue committed to preserving the art of the cabaret in New York City. They have also been seen at the Triad Theater, the Tribeca Film Festival and at the New York Musical Theater Festival.
