Paul Gordon and John Caird's musical adaptation of Jane Eyre will be the latest in the Manhattan Concert Productions Broadway Series. The semi-staged concert performance of the musical will play Lincoln Center's David Geffen Hall February 15, 2026.
Leading the cast will be Erika Henningsen (Just In Time, Mean Girls) as Jane and Ramin Karimloo (Pirates! The Penzance Musical, Funny Girl) as Rochester, opposite Caroline Bowman (Frozen, Wicked) as Jane’s Mother, Sophie, and Blanche Ingram; David Michael Garry (The Phantom of the Opera) as Robert and the Vicar; Ellen Harvey (How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying) as Mrs. Reed, Lady Ingram, and Grace Poole; Marc Kudisch (Girl From the North Country) as Mr. Brocklehurst and Richard Mason; Emily Skinner (Side Show) as Abbot and Mrs. Fairfax; Elizabeth Stanley (Jagged Little Pill) as Bertha Mason, Miss Scatcherd, and Bessie; and Brittany Nicole Smith (Aladdin) as Helen Burns, Mary Ingram, Leah, and Agnes.
Based on the classic Charlotte Brontë novel, Jane Eyre was adapted for the stage by Caird with music and lyrics by Gordon and additional lyrics by Caird, premiering on Broadway in 2000.
The upcoming concert will be directed by Tony Yazbeck, with Brad Haak serving as music director. Choreography will be led by Madison Hicks and Yazbeck, with scenic design by Beowulf Boritt and Alexis Distler, sound design by Andrew Keister, lighting design by Ben Stanton, and costume design by Stephanie Mae Fisher.
Brought to life by the New York City Chamber Orchestra and a 400-voice chorus, the event will continue MCP’s tradition of uniting the artistry of Broadway’s brightest talents with large-scale orchestral and choral accompaniment. Previous productions have included Children of Eden, Ragtime, Titanic, The Secret Garden, Parade, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Crazy for You, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and most recently, Anastasia: The Musical, which sold out Lincoln Center’s David Geffen Hall earlier this year.
