About Eureka Day on Broadway

Get Eureka Day tickets and see the latest production of the acclaimed new comedy featuring an all-star cast. Amber Gray (Tony Award nominee for Hadestown), Jessica Hecht (Tony Award nominated for A View from the Bridge and Summer, 1976), Bill Irwin (Old Hats), and Thomas Middleditch (Emmy Award nominee for Silicon Valley) co-star in an award-winning comedy about school politics, progressive ideals, and...vaccines.

Experience Eureka Day on Broadway at Manhattan Theatre Club’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. Tony Award winner Anna D. Shapiro (August: Osage County) directs this new play making its Broadway premiere. Following smash hit runs in London and San Francisco, Eureka Day follows the politics and personalities of a selective, private California elementary school.

At Eureka Day, the Board of Directors values inclusion above all else — until a case of the mumps forces the entire community to reconsider the school’s progressive vaccine policy. As cases rise, the board realizes with outrage that they’ll have to, finally and funnily, come to a decision that is impossible to please everyone.

Written before COVID, the play continues to be ahead of its time — and hilarious as a school navigates a bumpy path forward. Audiences will see reflections of modern society, sometimes in alarming but always in uproarious ways. At Eureka Day, as in life, the personal gets political pretty quickly.

The play has enjoyed many laudatory reviews. Earning four stars in London Theatre, Spector’s “sharply comic and fascinatingly prescient play” traces “rich dramatic terrain and is incredibly funny.” Evening Standard wrote in a four-star review that the play is “a needle-sharp comedy that packs a smart and timely punch.”
