Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Live on Stage! will hit North American stages in 2027
Paramount and Nickelodeon announced a new live theatrical production bringing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to North American stages in 2027. The announcement came via Variety and marks a significant revival of a theatrical adaptation concept that hasn’t been produced since the early 1990s.
Produced in partnership with Maximum Entertainment—known for major stage productions including theatrical adaptations like Titanic—the show will be titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Live on Stage! This represents a notable shift in how Nickelodeon, which acquired the TMNT franchise in 2009, is expanding the property.
While the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise has undergone numerous reboots across various media in recent decades, including comics, films, television series, and toy lines, theatrical stage productions have been dormant since the early 1990s version—which is noted as having been particularly distinctive in its approach. The decision to revive the live stage format suggests a renewed confidence in theatrical adaptations of major entertainment properties.
Full details regarding specific theaters, tour dates within 2027, and production scope remain limited in the initial announcement, but the partnership indicates a substantial commitment to bringing the franchise to live audiences in a new way.
