Get The Hills of California tickets and see the newest play from Tony Award winners Jez Butterworth and Sam Mendes, the writer and director behind the smash hit, award-winning success The Ferryman. A five-star “masterpiece” (London Theatre), The Hills of California plays for a strictly limited engagement on Broadway this fall starting September 11. Tickets for The Hills of California will be available on New York Theatre Guide soon.
Experience The Hills of California on Broadway. In this New York City premiere from the writer of Jerusalem and the director of The Lehman Trilogy, audiences follow the four Webb sisters across the decades. In the scorching heat of a 1970s summer, four sisters return to their childhood home in Blackpool, an English seaside town, where their mother lies dying upstairs. Two sisters, Gloria and Ruby, now have families of their own, but Jill never left. And Joan? She hasn't been seen or heard from in two decades, but Jill insists that their mother’s favorite won’t let them down this time.
The deteriorating seaside home comes alive with bittersweet memories of thrilling fun and financial stress that colored the women’s shared childhood. Twenty years prior, each night the four young sisters rehearse their promising singing act, managed by their fiercely devoted single mother. But when a record producer offers a chance at stardom and a reason to escape, it will cost them all dearly.
Featuring a stunning design and soaring original music, The Hills of California is “a rich, funny, brilliantly layered drama” per The Financial Times. Time Out calls Butterworth “remarkable” and Vogue calls the play “devastating and hilarious.” A fiercely moving new play, The Hills of California traces sisters’ passions and the price of chasing dreams.
