The Broadway at the Ordway series returns to the St. Paul theater for a second year, with a new slate of big-name musicals.

Five shows will come to the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts during the 2024–2025 season, each of which is meant to tackle a different facet of love and self-discovery, theater officials said.

Here’s what’s coming to town:

‘Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations’ (Oct. 8–13): This jukebox musical traces the journey of the hit Motown group “from the streets of Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.”

‘The Little Mermaid’ (Dec. 3–29): The classic fairy tale/Disney film swims to St. Paul this holiday season for an extended run, with classic tunes by musical master Alan Menken.

‘Dear Evan Hansen’ (March 11–16): One of the most well-known modern musicals, this show follows an anxious high school boy who finds himself mixed up in tragedy and mistaken assumptions.

‘Mean Girls’ (April 8–13): Coming to town on the heels of the cinematic reboot earlier this year, this 2017 musical version of “Mean Girls” was created by a team including comedian Tina Fey and her real-life husband, composer Jeff Richmond.

‘Mystic Pizza’ (June 3–8): Another big-screen adaptation, this time of the 1988 rom-com that gave Julia Roberts her breakthrough role (and Matt Damon his first film appearance). As a musical — making its Minnesota premiere at the Ordway — “Mystic Pizza” follows a group of working-class girls with hit music from the 80s and 90s.
