BOSTON — “Operation Mincemeat” enters its final Boston weekend Friday, with performances at the Emerson Colonial Theatre ending Oct. 25. “Wicked,” meanwhile, continues at the Citizens Bank Opera House through Nov. 15, giving theatergoers a longer window to catch the Oz musical.

The two productions are part of the 2026-27 Lexus Broadway in Boston season, which divides its schedule between those venues. According to Encore Magazine’s season announcement, the “Operation Mincemeat” engagement began Oct. 13, while “Wicked” opened its Boston run Sept. 23.

“Operation Mincemeat” turns an actual World War II deception effort against the Nazis into musical theater, combining comedy with the suspense of its wartime premise. Its closing weekend falls Oct. 23-25, making it the more immediate deadline for audiences choosing between the two Broadway offerings.

“Wicked” explores the lives of Oz’s witches, with music by Stephen Schwartz. The stage musical, which provided the basis for the recent films, remains on the Boston calendar for several weeks after “Operation Mincemeat” departs.

More musicals follow this winter

The Colonial’s next listed season engagement is “The Notebook,” scheduled for Dec. 8-20. Adapted from the novel that also became a film, the musical follows Allie and Noah, whose different social backgrounds complicate a romance that begins during their teenage years and extends across their lives.

The new year brings two productions to the Opera House in quick succession. “Death Becomes Her” is scheduled for Jan. 12-24, 2027. Drawing on the 1992 supernatural comedy film, it centers on a pair of rivals determined to retain their youth, with stage effects helping tell the story.

“Maybe Happy Ending” follows Feb. 2-14. The winner of the 2025 Tony for best musical focuses on two helper robots and their developing understanding of humanity. Encore lists the Boston dates as part of the announced season.

A schedule extending into summer

Spring offerings at the Opera House include the Neil Diamond musical “A Beautiful Noise,” March 23-April 4, and the ABBA-driven “Mamma Mia!,” April 13-25. The latter follows a bride-to-be who invites three men from her mother’s past in hopes of discovering her father’s identity.

At the Colonial, “The Who’s Tommy,” adapted from the band’s 1969 concept album, is scheduled for May 4-16. The Opera House then hosts “Hell’s Kitchen,” June 1-13, featuring Alicia Keys’ music and a story drawn from her upbringing in Manhattan.

“The Book of Mormon” is scheduled for June 22-27 at the Opera House. A new staging of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “The Phantom of the Opera” follows there July 21-Aug. 8.

Beyond the Broadway schedule, the Globe’s weekend guide lists Wang Theatre performances by comedian Jim Gaffigan for Oct. 23-25. Australian circus ensemble Gravity & Other Myths presents “Ten Thousand Hours” on Oct. 23 and 24 at the Boston Arts Academy Theater.
