National tours of “Six” and “Frozen” will pay their first visits to the Alamo City during the 2023-24 Broadway in San Antonio season.

All but one of the shows in the Majestic Theatre series are San Antonio premieres.

Here’s a look at the whole lineup:

“Six”: The pop musical is structured as a sing-off between the wives of Henry VIII in which they share their stories. The New York Times described it as “a rollicking, reverberan­t blast from the past.” The Tonywinnin­g score includes “Don’t Lose Ur Head,” “No Way” and “I Don’t Need Your Love.” Oct. 10-22.

“Annie”: The much-adored musical about a scrappy orphan whose quest to find her parents takes an unexpected turn, returns to the Majestic. The score includes “It’s the Hard Knock Life,” “Easy Street” and “Tomorrow.” Nov. 7-12.

“Tina: The Tina Turner Musical”: The jukebox show follows the music legend’s life from her hardscrabb­le childhood through her abusive marriage to Ike Turner and her late-career triumphs. The score includes “Proud Mary,” “Better Be Good to Me” and “We Don’t Need Another Hero.” Jan. 16-21,

2024.

“Beetlejuic­e”: The musical is adapted from Tim Burton’s 1988 movie, in which a recently deceased couple try to figure out the afterlife, which they are spending in the home they love. The situation becomes less than

idyllic when an insufferab­le couple buy the house; the dead folks then hire “bio-exorcist” Beetlejuic­e to evict them, a decision they swiftly regret. The score includes “Creepy Old Guy,” “Barbara 2.0” and “Day-o (The Banana Boat Song).” Feb.

13-18, 2024.

“Frozen”: The adaptation of the 2013 Disney insta-classic tells the story of a princess who must confront her estranged sister, who has inadverten­tly trapped their home in an eternal winter. The show features the songs from the movie, including “Let it Go,” as well as a dozen new numbers written for the stage. May 22-June 4, 2024.

“Clue”: The comedy is adapted from the 1985 cult classic film based on the board game. In the show, strangers invited to a dinner party become amateur crime solvers after their host is murdered. June 25-30, 2024.

All of those shows are included in season subscripti­ons. Subscriber­s can also add two additional production­s: “Wicked” returns Dec. 20-Jan. 7, 2024, and “The Book of Mormon” returns April 5-7.

Galapro, a closed-captioning app, will be in use for “Six,” “Tina,” “Beetlejuic­e,” “Frozen” and “Wicked.” Those with sensory issues can take advantage of fidget tools, noisecance­ling headphones and other tools made available through the theater’s work with the accessibil­ity non-profit Kulturecit­y.

Subscripti­ons are on sale now. Current season subscriber­s who don’t opt out will be automatica­lly renewed March 15.

Individual tickets go on sale later.
