Get Call Me Izzy tickets when they go on sale on New York Theatre Guide to see the incomparable Jean Smart back on Broadway. Call Me Izzy plays for a limited run this spring and summer, for just 12 weeks at the acclaimed theatre Studio 54. Smart, a Broadway vet and Tony Award nominee for her role in The Man who Came to Dinner, opposite Nathan Lane, returns to the New York stage in this jolting new play from Jamie Wax. Wax makes his Broadway debut with this fierce new play, directed by Sarna Lapine, who staged the starry revival of Sunday in the Park with George with Jake Gyllenhaal and Annaleigh Ashford.
Take a trip down to small town Louisiana when you experience Call Me Izzy on Broadway: in Wax's premiere, Izzy lives in rural America and is looking to write her way out. However, her writing is her biggest secret, greatest gift, and darkest curse. The play offers Smart a singular vehicle and audiences a can’t-miss theatrical event. A moving portrait of one woman’s refusal to be silenced, Call Me Izzy shows a character whose sheer tenacity, humor, and fiery imagination will get her to a new stage of life, one way or another, no matter the consequences.
Smart is one of TV's most iconic actresses, winning six Primetime Emmy Awards over her decades-spanning career that includes multiple hit shows — dramas and comedies — that include Designing Women, Hacks, Mare of Easttown, Frasier, Samantha Who?, Kim Possible, and many others.
Now, she returns to Broadway in this riveting and revealing portrait of a woman desperate for new life. How far will she go to take hold of her life, even if it means sharing her deepest secrets? Tickets to Call Me Izzy in New York will be available here soon.
