See “In the Heights” in Herndon, a world premiere commissioned by Studio Theatre that deals with themes of gentrification, or a musical about Audrey Hepburn around D.C. theaters this month.

There’s a world premiere of a play about podcasting, Les Miserables at the Kennedy Center, and readings of several new works from Keegan Theatre debuting around D.C.’s theater scene this month.

One critic loved “Clyde’s” at Studio Theatre; another took in an experimental, if at times confusing, take on “Julius Caesar” (just in time for Ides of March).

March’s theater calendar in the D.C. area is absolutely packed, with more than two dozen shows debuting.

But don’t worry, you still have plenty of time to catch “Kinky Boots” in March.

Our critics saw plays about jazz and the criminal justice system, the perils of social media, violence as a means to racial justice, and — wild card! — an ode to fact-checking.

A couple of Broadway powerhouses head to D.C., and a “Hadestown” alum takes on the Bard this month.

A musical about an amusement park ride gone wrong, a tour of “Cats,” and a tale about George Washington and his enslaved companion open in January.

Our critics checked a version of “The Tempest” involving lots of magic, a Pulitzer-winning play at Kennedy Center, and a hit that Broadway nerds will love. (All three run into January.)

A comedy about two Idina Menzel superfans, Synectic’s “Snow Maiden,” and a Broadway smash and a Pulitzer winner — both at the Kennedy Center — are among the shows opening in December.
