Rescheduled Broadway and High-Octane History: What’s On in Charlotte Today

Charlotte’s Monday Outlook: Entertainment Amid the Chill

While a winter storm warning has been the talk of the town across the Queen City this weekend, Charlotte’s vibrant arts and culture scene is proving resilient. Today, Monday, January 26, 2026, features a mix of high-profile theater, storied museum exhibits, and local cinema screenings that offer a perfect escape from the January cold. Whether you are looking for a laugh at the theater or a walk through racing history, there are several verified options to fill your schedule.

Monty Python’s Spamalot at the Belk Theater

In a special turn of events, theater fans have an extra opportunity to catch the Tony-nominated revival of Monty Python’s Spamalot. Due to winter weather disruptions over the weekend, the Saturday evening performance was rescheduled for tonight, Monday, January 26, at 7:30 PM. This production, directed by Josh Rhodes, brings the classic 1975 film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" to life with all the coconut-clacking and show-stopping musical numbers fans expect. King Arthur and his rag-tag bunch of knights are taking over the Belk Theater at Blumenthal Arts, providing a much-needed dose of comedy and spectacle for local residents. Ticket holders from the original Saturday slot are encouraged to attend this rescheduled Monday night performance.

High-Octane History at the NASCAR Hall of Fame

For those looking for a daytime activity, the NASCAR Hall of Fame remains a top choice as it is one of the few major local attractions open on Mondays. Visitors can explore the "Now on Display" exhibit, which features 18 race cars from 18 different team owners, effectively spanning the entire history of the sport. It is a comprehensive look at the evolution of racing engineering and the legacies of the legends who built NASCAR. The Hall of Fame is open from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM today, offering an indoor experience that is both educational and exciting for all ages.

Cinema Highlights: Hits on the Big Screen

Local cinemas are also offering a variety of screenings today for those wanting to catch the latest releases. Cinergy and AMC theaters across Charlotte have full schedules today, including several major titles:

• Mercy: A high-stakes thriller showing at various times, including 3:15 PM and 6:15 PM.
• 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple: The latest entry in the intense horror franchise is playing at both Cinergy and AMC Carolina Pavilion.
• The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers: A special 2026 event screening is scheduled for 7:00 PM at AMC Carolina Pavilion for those looking for an epic fantasy revival.

Staying Safe and Informed

Because of the ongoing winter storm warning in effect through this afternoon, local officials and venue managers recommend that patrons check with individual box offices before heading out. While the major events listed above are currently moving forward, safety should remain your top priority. Ensure you allow extra travel time for any evening performances at the Blumenthal Arts venues or local theaters.
