The Jennifer Nettles musical Giulia: The Poison Queen of Palermo, previously set to play Off-Broadway's Perelman Performing Arts Center later this fall, will now play the venue June 28-July 26, 2026. The work had been postponed to 2026 earlier this year, but the likely reason for those new dates has just been revealed: Tony winner Mary Zimmerman has replaced the previously announced Rebecca Taichman as the musical's director.

Nettles will also star in the work, which tracks a real-life serial killer whose trail of murder begins with an act of self-defense. Mandy Moore (Taylor Swift's Eras tour) was announced to choreograph the musical originally, but has departed the project along with Taichman.

Updated dates for the world premiere came as part of a bundle of new programming revealed for PAC NYC in 2025 and 2026. Theatrically, the venue will present the U.S. premiere of Jane Harrison's The Visitors as part of the 2026 Under the Radar Festival January 21-February 1, 2026. Wesley Enoch will direct the work, about seven Aboriginal leaders gathering to discuss what to do about a mysterious fleet of giant ships that appear in Sydney Harbor in January 1788. The work began as a production of Moogahlin Performing Arts and Sydney Theatre Company, and is produced by Performing Lines. Casting and further creative team are to be announced.

Also newly on the space's roster is the U.S. debut of Tony-winning designer Es Devlin (The Lehman Trilogy)'s interactive art installation Congregation, which will be on view at PAC NYC October 29-November 1. The piece features large-scale chalk and charcoal portraits of 50 Londoners driven by force from their homelands, presented as projections on in-person portrait sitters. The visuals are accompanied with a sound sequence composed by Polyphonia and feature the voices of the represented Londoners. The project has been made in collaboration with filmmaker Ruth Hogben and choreographer Botis Seva, and will feature dancer Joshua Shanny Wynter.
