Several new and revived plays are heading to Broadway this Spring. Get a glimpse into the fresh and returning works coming soon this season.
EVERY BRILLIANT THING
Every Brilliant Thing is an exhilarating and heartwarming play, in which a man looks back at his life and the glimmers of hope that carried him through. All told through a list of every wonderful, beautiful, and delightful thing—big, small, and everything in between—that makes life worth living.
Performances begin February 21st at the Hudson Theatre.
DEATH OF A SALESMAN
Three-time Tony Award® winner Nathan Lane, two-time Tony Award® winner Laurie Metcalf, and Christopher Abbott return to Broadway in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, with Ben Ahlers, directed by two-time Tony Award® winner Joe Mantello. Called “the greatest American play” by critic Kenneth Tynan (The Observer), this new production is shaped by insights and impulses uncovered in Miller’s early archival drafts, giving modern audiences a fresh perspective and deeper understanding of the play’s inner workings. The landmark American drama, whose first production was described as “bringing the whole theatre alive” by critic Brooks Atkinson (The New York Times), begins previews March 6th at the Winter Garden
DOG DAY AFTERNOON
Step back into the sweltering summer of 1972, New York City—a time when the Vietnam War looms large, Watergate headlines flood the news, and one man’s desperate act captivates the nation. A Brooklyn bank hold up quickly goes wrong, and with each gut-wrenching twist that unfolds, chaos ensues that ignites the city as they follow the actions of a man on the edge. Dog Day Afternoon is a raw, gritty reminder of what happens when passion and desperation collide.
Performances begin March 10th at the August Wilson Theatre.
GIANT
A world-famous children’s author under threat. A battle of wills in the wake of scandal. And one chance to make amends. Following an acclaimed West End run and three Olivier Awards, Giant tells the story of author Roald Dahl and the true scandal that shook his legacy.
Performances begin March 11th at the Music Box Theatre.
THE FEAR OF 13
The Fear of 13 tells the extraordinary true story of Nick Yarris, who spends more than two decades on death row for a murder he insists he did not commit. Through a series of prison visits with a volunteer named Jackie, Nick traces a life shaped by impulse and consequence. As Nick and Jackie’s conversations deepen, the line between witness and participant blurs, forcing both to confront what justice demands, what belief requires, and the perilous distance between true freedom and the illusion of self- determination. By turns devastating, darkly funny, and life-affirming, The Fear of 13 is a powerful exploration of truth and trust, conscience and connection.
Performances begin March 19th at the James Earl Jones Theatre.
FALLEN ANGELS
Two upper-class wives, their husbands away for the day, share a few toasts to their pre-marital dalliances—with the same man, who just may be en route from France to visit. Old rivalries and past scandals bubble to the surface in this intoxicating romp from one of theatre’s comedy masters.
Performances begin March 27th at the Todd Haimes Theatre.
PROOF
In Proof, Catherine, the brilliant but restless daughter of renowned mathematics professor Robert, is thrust into turmoil when a notebook containing a revelatory proof is discovered after his death. As debate erupts over its true authorship, Catherine must confront the power of legacy, and the cost of proving herself.
Performances begin March 31st at the Booth Theatre.
JOE TURNER’S COME AND GONE
In Proof, Catherine, the brilliant but restless daughter of renowned mathematics professor Robert, is thrust into turmoil when a notebook containing a revelatory proof is discovered after his death. As debate erupts over its true authorship, Catherine must confront the power of legacy, and the cost of proving herself.
Performances begin March 31st at the Booth Theatre.
THE BALUSTERS
The Balusters is a raucous, wild ride through a small community with big feelings. The Vernon Point Neighborhood Association is a passionate bunch, whether squabbling over historically inaccurate porch railings or debating trash can protocol. Still, no one is prepared for the neighbor-versus-neighbor battle royale that ensues when a newcomer to the board suggests the unthinkable: installing a stop sign on the corner of the enclave’s prettiest block.
Performances begin March 31st at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.
