Ahead of tonight's official opening at the Hayes Theater on Broadway, official production photos have been released for the Broadway premiere of Young Jean Lee's Straight White Men, which began previews on June 30 and is scheduled to play a limited engagement through to September 9, 2018.

Directed by Anna D. Shapiro, the cast of Straight White Men includes Golden Globe nominee Armie Hammer (as Drew), Golden Globe & 2-time Emmy Award nominee Josh Charles (as Jake), Paul Schneider (as Matt), Stephen Payne (as Ed), Kate Bornstein (as Person In Charge #1), and Ty Defoe (as Person In Charge #2).

The Second Stage Theater production marks the Broadway debuts for the entire cast, with the exception of Mr. Payne. 

Synopsis: "Straight White Men takes place on Christmas Eve. Ed has gathered his three adult sons to celebrate with matching pajamas, trash-talking, and Chinese takeout. But when a question they can't answer interrupts their holiday cheer, they are forced to confront their own identities."

The creative team features scenic design by Todd Rosenthal, costume design by Suttirat Larlab, lighting design by Donald Holder, sound design by M.L. Dogg and choreography by Faye
Driscoll.

Young Jean Lee makes history with the Second Stage Theater production of Straight White Men as the first female Asian-American playwright to ever be produced on Broadway.

Straight White Men Tickets are available now for performances through to September 9, 2018.
