SUMMARY:Come From Away
DESCRIPTION:March 4 – 20\, 2027\nWaterfront Playhouse\, Mallory Square\, 407 Wall Street \nThe Waterfront’s mainstage series presents Come From Away\, the musical by Irene Sankoff and David Hein about what happened in Gander\, Newfoundland\, on September 11\, 2001. When American airspace closed that morning\, 38 planes were diverted to Gander’s airport\, and a town of about 9\,000 people took in nearly 7\,000 strangers for the better part of a week. \n \nThe show is built from interviews the writers conducted with Gander residents and the passengers who ended up there. A cast of twelve plays both the townspeople and the travelers\, switching between them onstage\, and the score draws on Newfoundland folk music — fiddle\, accordion\, bodhrán\, Irish flute. It runs about 100 minutes with no intermission. \nCome From Away opened on Broadway in 2017 and ran for five years\, earning seven Tony nominations and a win for Christopher Ashley’s direction. It is about a terrible day\, but it is not really about the attacks; it’s about what a small place did in the days that followed. \nSchedule subject to change.

SUMMARY:Elton Dan & The Rocket Band
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 13\, 2027\nKey West Theater\, 512 Eaton Street \nElton Dan & The Rocket Band bring their Elton John tribute to the Key West Theater.

Expect “Rocket Man\,” “Crocodile Rock\,” “Philadelphia Freedom\,” “The Bitch Is Back\,” and “I’m Still Standing\,” with deep cuts and band favorites like “Levon\,” “Tiny Dancer\,” “Madman Across the Water\,” and “Pinball Wizard” turning up as well\, plus the occasional duet. \nDan’s piano playing carries the show\, along with the costumes. The band’s pitch is a room full of people who came to sing along\, and they play to that. \nSchedule subject to change.

SUMMARY:Celtic Angels Ireland
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, March 16\, 2027\nDoors 6:30pm\, Show 7:30pm · Tennessee Williams Theatre \nCeltic Angels Ireland arrives in Key West on the eve of St. Patrick’s Day with a full-scale production built around traditional and contemporary Irish music. The show is assembled by a creative team based in Ireland and cast with award-winning and World Champion singers\, dancers\, and musicians\, and it moves through more than thirty tunes over the course of the evening. \nThe vocal ensemble at the center of it — the Celtic Angels themselves — handle the close harmony work that gives the show its name. Around them\, the Celtic Knights Dancers bring the percussive step dancing the tradition is known for\, and the Trinity Ensemble plays everything live. No backing tracks\, which matters more in this repertoire than in most; the fiddle and whistle lines are half the point. \nThe program swings between registers the way Irish music tends to — laments and emigration songs on one side\, reels and set pieces on the other\, often within a few minutes of each other. It’s a good family show and an easy one to bring people to who don’t think they have an opinion about Irish music. Subscription packages covering the full 2027 season are available at a 15% savings. \nSchedule subject to change.

SUMMARY:The Linda Ronstadt Experience
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 19\, 2027\nKey West Theater\, 512 Eaton Street \nThe Linda Ronstadt Experience brings its tribute concert to the Key West Theater\, fronted by American Idol alum Tristan McIntosh and backed by a full band. The show focuses on Ronstadt at the peak of her career\, when she was the biggest-selling female recording artist in the country. \nThe set covers the chart singles — “You’re No Good\,” “When Will I Be Loved\,” “That’ll Be the Day\,” “Blue Bayou” — along with songs Ronstadt made famous by Jackson Browne\, Elvis Costello\, Tom Petty\, Neil Young\, Warren Zevon\, and the Rolling Stones. Ronstadt’s gift as an interpreter was picking material from writers who hadn’t broken through yet and turning their songs into hits\, and the show leans into that range. \nSchedule subject to change.

SUMMARY:Legally Blonde the Musical
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, March 29\, 2027\nDoors 6:30pm\, Show 7:30pm · Tennessee Williams Theatre \nThe Broadway national tour of Legally Blonde the Musical stops in Key West this spring. Adapted from the 2001 film\, the stage version arrived on Broadway in 2007 with music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin and a book by Heather Hach\, and it went on to win a fistful of Olivier Awards in London. It has been a staple of touring theater ever since\, largely because it does what it sets out to do without apologizing for any of it. \nElle Woods gets dumped by a boyfriend headed to Harvard Law who has decided he needs someone more serious. Elle follows him there\, talks her way in\, and spends the rest of the show discovering that she is considerably sharper than anyone — including herself — had assumed. The pace is relentless\, the choreography is athletic\, and the score runs from bubblegum to something closer to genuine feeling in “So Much Better” and the title song. Bruiser the chihuahua appears\, as required by law. \nIt holds up better than its reputation suggests. Underneath the pink there’s a real story about being underestimated and deciding not to accept it\, and the show is smart enough to let the joke land without ever making Elle the punchline. Good pick for a mixed group\, and a reliable crowd-pleaser for anyone bringing teenagers. Subscription packages covering the full 2027 season are available at a 15% savings. \nSchedule subject to change.

SUMMARY:Dial M for Murder
DESCRIPTION:April 8 – 17\, 2027\nWaterfront Playhouse\, Mallory Square\, 407 Wall Street \nThe Waterfront’s mainstage season concludes with Dial M for Murder\, Frederick Knott’s 1952 thriller in Jeffrey Hatcher’s 2022 adaptation. A husband decides his wealthy wife is worth more to him dead\, and sets out to arrange the perfect murder. What follows is a cat-and-mouse game between him\, his wife\, her lover\, and a police inspector who keeps noticing the small things that don’t add up. \nHatcher’s version\, commissioned by the Old Globe in San Diego\, keeps the 1950s London setting and Knott’s clockwork plotting while reshaping the central triangle and adding a few turns of its own. \nThe Waterfront positions it alongside Wait Until Dark and Accomplice\, both audience favorites at the theatre — tightly built thrillers where the tension comes from watching people think. \nSchedule subject to change.

Two friends couldn’t agree on who made the best Lobster Chilau\, a Key West staple. What else to do but settle it with a cook-off? The inaugural throwdown went down in the courtyard of Rick’s & Durty Harry’s Entertainment Complex\, with secret family recipes and judges galore. The event was such a hit (though we’ll keep the winner a secret)\, they knew they had to take it bigger. The next year\, Lobsterfest moved to the bustling Duval Street\, welcoming more participants\, spectators\, and sponsors than ever before. Fast forward to today\, and this epic food fight has transformed into a 4-day extravaganza that takes over the entire island! \n\nKEY WEST LOBSTERFEST 2026 28th Annual\nAll information / data courtesy of the event organizers.
