The Imaginary Invalid on Broadway tickets

The Imaginary Invalid in New York City opens Roundabout Theatre Company's 2026/27 season in a fresh production directed by stage vet Brandon J. Dirden. The play reimagines Molière's uproarious comedy about a man who indulges every ailment, proving, centuries later, that hypochondria never goes out of style.

The Imaginary Invalid plays at the Todd Haimes Theatre this fall. In this comedy, Argan (Irwin) fears every little perceived malady, so he concocts a plan: he will marry his daughter off to a doctor in order to save on his medical bills. However, his daughter has plans of her own. The Imaginary Invalid stands the test of time, reminding audiences that reality is what happens while you and your family are making other plans.

This will be the theatre company's first season led by Roundabout’s incoming artistic director Christopher Ashley, who collaborated on season planning with interim artistic director Scott Ellis. “As we welcome Christopher Ashley into artistic leadership, this season is a bridge, grounded in what Todd Haimes built, and intentionally making space for Chris to shape what’s next,” said Ellis in a statement.

Roundabout is known for its starry revivals, as with last season's Fallen Angels. Now, Irwin returns to Broadway in this major revival of Molière's hit. Known for his work on stage, screen, and in clowning, Irwin is one of entertainment's titans and most versatile performers. Some of his credits over the decades include Old Hats, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Sesame Street, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Legion, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Rustin, and others.

Tickets to The Imaginary Invalid on Broadway will be available here soon.
