Broadway theatre and dates revealed for Significant Other

The Broadway transfer of Joshua Harmon's play Significant Other has now announced Broadway dates and a theatre. Previews will begin at the Booth Theatre on 14 February 2017, before an official opening on 2 March.

The Roundabout Theatre Company originally staged the world premiere production of Significant Other at off-Broadway's Laura Pels Theatre from 21 May to 16 August 2015. This marks only the second time a new play by Roundabout has transferred to the Great White Way. The first time was by Stephen Karem's Tony-winning Best Play The Humans.

Synopsis: "Meet Jordan Berman. He's single. And he has a date with a co-worker to see a documentary about the Franco-Prussian war. At least, he thinks it's a date. Significant Other follows Jordan and his three closest friends as they navigate love, friendship and New York in the twenty-something years."

The Broadway transfer marks the Broadway debuts of both writer Joshua Harmon and director Trip Cullman. Producers also intend to re-unite the off-Broadway cast and creative team, which includes Gideon Glick, Barbara Barrie and Lindsay Mendez, along with choreographer Sam Pinkleton, set designer Mark Wendland, costume designer Kaye Voyce, lighting designer Japhy Weideman, and sound designer Daniel Kluger.

The off-Broadway cast also included John Behlmann, Sas Goldberg, Carra Patterson and Luke Smith.
