COWABUNGA, ALL-NEW NORTH AMERICAN LIVE THEATRICAL TOUR FOR TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES LAUNCHING IN 2027

“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Live on Stage!” Brings Together a Tony Award-Winning Creative Team; Tour Coincides with 40th Anniv. of Original Animated Series

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, June 24, 2026 -- The heroes in a half shell are heading to the stage. Paramount Products & Experiences in partnership with Maximum Entertainment Productions, Crossroads Live, and RoadCo Entertainment today announced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Live on Stage! (www.TMNTLiveOnStage.com), an all-new live theatrical event launching in Fall 2027 in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) animated series. Inspired by the classic cartoon phenomenon that captivated fans for generations, the action-packed new production follows Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo from their comic book origins to global pop culture icons, battling fan-favorite villains along the way.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Live on Stage! is being developed by an acclaimed creative team led by Tony Award-winning producer Eva Price, fresh off a Tony Award win for Best Play as a producer of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Liberation; director, choreographer, and two-time Tony Award nominee Jennifer Weber; and Emmy Award-winning playwright and screenwriter Qui Nguyen. Blending explosive martial arts choreography, gravity-defying parkour, hip-hop dance battles, projection technology, and classic TMNT humor, the production reimagines the beloved franchise as a fast-paced spectacle for fans of all ages. Audiences can expect stunts, acrobatics, audience interaction, larger-than-life visuals, and nostalgic callbacks to the original series and music inspired by old-school hip-hop, rap, and the classic theme song. At the center of it all is the irreverent comedy, action, and heart that turned the Turtles into cultural staples.

"We're thrilled to reimagine TMNT for the stage through a one-of-a-kind live experience that brings together an exceptional team of creative talent," said Josh Silverman, President of Global Products & Experiences for Paramount. "The caliber of award-winning artists behind this production speaks to the enduring power of the franchise and its impact across generations. Together, we're bringing the Turtles to an exciting new storytelling platform while staying true to the energy, humor, and heart fans have loved for more than four decades."

"TMNT has always been about energy, rebellion, brotherhood, and fun," says Price. "This production takes everything audiences love about the original animated series and transforms it into a thrilling live show. Whether you grew up with the Turtles in the '80s and '90s or discovered them in the 21st century, this show is designed to bring fans together."

A Tony and Olivier Award-winning producer behind Broadway and touring productions including Titaníque, & Juliet, Redwood, The Hip Hop Nutcracker, Jagged Little Pill – and most recently Liberation – Price is known for developing bold theatrical experiences that blend music, spectacle, and broad audience appeal. That mix sits at the center of the production's creative approach.

"We're combining martial arts, parkour, hip-hop, and comedy to create a version of TMNT that audiences haven't seen before," says Weber. "Our goal is to make audiences feel like they've stepped directly into their world that is fast, funny, chaotic, heartfelt, and completely alive."

Known for blending movement-driven storytelling with music and spectacle, Weber's recent credits include Broadway's & Juliet, Disney's Zombies 2, Secret Cinema's Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical, and internationally acclaimed The Hip Hop Nutcracker. Nguyen, the Emmy Award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and co-founder of Vampire Cowboys, brings his signature blend of action, comedy, and genre storytelling to the production.

First launched in 1987, the original TMNT animated series became a global sensation, helping transform the franchise into one of the most recognizable entertainment brands in the world spanning television, comics, toys, films, video games, and live entertainment. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the original series in 2027 marks a major milestone for generations of TMNT fans worldwide.

The show's run time is approximately 90 minutes, not including intermission.

Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Season Two Episode Guide:

Mutant Battle Arena: Raph's brothers just don't get him. He NEEDS to fight! He's good at it too, according to his new trainer Spuds. But even though they don't see eye to eye, the Turtles must work together to stop a rampaging Bebop and Rocksteady from wrecking the city! (#201; season two premiere)

Raphael's brothers just don't understand him. Not only does he NEED to fight, he's really good at it, or at least that's what his new boxing trainer named Spuds told him. Spuds even ENCOURAGES Raph to work out his anger and negativity through fighting, even if his family and the annoying Pigeon Pete don't get it. But although the Turtles don't see eye to eye, they must work together to stop a rampaging Rocksteady and Bebop from wrecking the city! Social media blew up with videos of the two Mutanimals going berserk, fighting each other without seeming to know what was going on around them. And all the while, doing some serious damage to the city! As the dust settles, is there someone behind the whole plot, pulling the strings?

Mutantweight Title Bout: All of Raph's dreams have come true as he fights Rocksteady, Bebop, and Mondo Gecko in the underground Mutant Battle Arena. But he doesn't realize he's walked right into a trap set by Kitsune and her street gang, the Purple Dragons! (#202)

All of Raph's wildest dreams are coming true in the underground Mutant Battle Arena! He gets to let loose, fighting the massive Mutanimals Bebop and Rocksteady; even the hug-loving Mondo Gecko joins in on the fun! Raph doesn't hold back, and he gets his butt kicked with a smile on his face. Not only that, he's getting some serious bling in exchange for being part of the fights - gold chains, new clothes, even his very own vehicle, the TURTLE TANK! This makes Donnie, Leo, and Mikey very suspicious, since Raph has kept everything a secret from them. But audiences love Raph, which pleases the crime boss Kitsune and her street gang, the Purple Dragons. They run the arena with the help of an obnoxious investor named Knox. But Raph's dream may become a nightmare, as Raph is oblivious to the fact that he's walked right into their trap!

Raph Fights Everyone: With all his family and friends under Kitsune's mind control, Raph no longer wants to fight in the Mutant Battle Arena. But he'll have to (with Pigeon Pete's help) in order to save EVERYONE he loves before it's too late! (#203)

Raph is freaking out! He wanted to fight everyone, but now he's up against his brothers, and it's the worst. Kitsune and her gang the Purple Dragons captured Mikey, Donnie, and Leo and used mind control devices to send them into the Mutant Battle Arena. They chase Raph through the arena and out to the street where he uses the Turtle Tank as a getaway car. Raph realizes he's in too deep and must turn to an unlikely source for help - the snobby Pigeon Pete! Together, they form a multi-step plan in which Pete will steal the mind control devices right from under the Purple Dragons' noses while Raph distracts all the Mutants in the arena. But things don't go quite as planned and it's up to Raph to save everyone he loves! Can he find a way to disarm the mind control devices and save everyone before it's too late?

The Island: The Mutanimals turn on the Ninja Turtles after Ray Fillet accuses them of attacking him in Central Park! The Turtles realize a mutant snapping turtle named Tokka is on the loose, drawing Donnie to a terrifying laboratory on Staten Island! (#204)

Ray Fillet is attacked in Central Park by a mutant turtle! Donnie's busy with his robotics project: turning Metalhead into a spider-bot. Wingnut bursts in and tells the Turtles to come quick- Ray is hurt! A woozy Ray blames the Ninja Turtles, and the Mutanimals start a fight with the confused brothers. But when Ray's REAL attacker appears, a mutant snapping turtle named TOKKA, he fights everyone... until his watch starts beeping and he escapes. The Turtles tail him, ending up on the Staten Island ferry. After a big fight, Tokka's trapped. But while questioning him, Tokka explodes into OOZE, leaving only a baby turtle and his watch. Donnie's brothers ask him to hack it and find clues about Tokka, which he says is impossible! Later, Donnie gets a location pin from Wingnut and follows it to an abandoned factory on Staten Island. He finds her and ANOTHER TOKKA that he cleverly takes out! Donnie thinks they're safe until MORE Monster Mutanimals emerge! Could Donnie's day get any worse?

The Other Mutanimals: Desperate to save Wingnut from Tokka, Rahzar, & the Monster Mutanimals, Donnie delves deeper into the lab of a mad scientist. Meanwhile, his brothers follow another Tokka to the Staten Island lab... only for things to take a disastrous turn! (#205)

Donnie's trapped in a mad scientist's lab by the Monster Mutanimals Tokka, Rahzar, Scale Tail, Antrax and Wyrm who are after Wingnut's blood. Meanwhile, Leo, Mikey and Raph try to get pizza but the shop owner is furious: they've made a mess of the place too many times! But the Turtles have never been there before! They're confused until another Tokka wrecks the place in a huge fight before exploding into ooze...and then another Tokka arrives! In the lab, Donnie plans his escape but stumbles upon a video of Rahzar who explains the Monster Mutanimals are doomed unless they find the blood of a stable mutant... and they need Donatello's help! A real-life Rahzar lunges at Donnie, who fights him off until a whole pack of Monster Mutants shows up. The other three Turtles track their Tokka to the lab but are quickly captured. Donnie can only watch as his brothers are shoved into cages... and confronted by the creator of the Monster Mutanimals, the mad scientist Jordan Perry!

The Rejects: When Leo, Mikey, and Raph are captured by the mad scientist Jordan Perry and his Monster Mutanimals, Donnie must stop a mutant invasion on Staten Island and save everyone from the terrifying creation known as Mutant Omega! (#206)

Rise of the Night Ninja: When Leo accidentally saves a subway station full of innocent people, he's inspired to take on a life of crime-fighting vigilantism as the Night Ninja! But has he met his match with the villainous La Fleur and her gang of dognappers? (#207)

When Leonardo finds himself the accidental hero in a subway station, saving the lives of innocent bystanders, he's thrilled by the title of HERO. This pushes him to a life of crime-fighting vigilantism, starting with putting the Purple Dragons in their place. But when he's caught on camera and his brothers and April see this Turtle-shaped hero on the news, they interrogate him: what's he up to... and can they get in on it? Now, the four Night Ninjas and April suit up and set out to rid the streets of crime in a single night. Now what's left to do? April finds a dog-napping ring that's been snatching up purebreds. Baiting the dog-nappers with a fancy pooch, the Turtles track the criminals and meet the villainous French florist known as... La Fleur! She and her band of hench-florists are using the dog-napping as a cover-up for a much larger crime. And when the Night Ninjas show up to stop her, it may be too late for Leo and his brothers as the whole thing goes up in flames... literally.

The Night Ninja Returns: The villainous, dog-hating madman known as SCRATCH holds the city's dogs hostage! His only demand? For the Night Ninja to surrender! But Leo, April and the Turtles realize there's more to Scratch than meets the eye. (#208)

The Itching Scratch: The final battle begins as the Turtles take on Scratch to save the city! (#209)

Leo suits up as the Night Ninja one last time to take on the villainous cat named Scratch and his mutant Vampire Fleas. It's a grudge-match fifteen years in the making! But what does it all have to do with Splinter? The final battle begins!

Get Rod:  No one likes Rod, especially the Turtles! Bishop's former intern keeps trying to kidnap them and steal their mutant blood, but when Rod himself is kidnapped... Mikey is on the case! His first suspect: the mutant-hating Mechazoid maker BISHOP. (#210)

The Unusual Suspects: With some loose Mutagen at stake, Mikey questions Rod's siblings, the notorious and eccentric MAUDE and TODD... both of whom are trying to get their hands on some mutant blood as well. Can Mikey find Rod before it's too late? (#211)

The Big Muck: Who kidnapped Rod? Where is the mutagen? Why is Rod's family so weird? Everything has led to a confrontation of Rod's dad... but even with Rod's help, can Mikey and his brothers defeat the mutant known as MUCKMAN? (#212; series finale)
