The light at the end of a long tunnel is in sight. After a year of <a href="/news-features/broadway-shutdown-extends-to-may-2021">Broadway theatres being closed and suspended performances</a>, theatres across New York City are beginning to come out of hibernation, reopening for live performances once more. The <a href="/theatres/music-box-theatre">Music Box Theatre</a> and cultural spaces like St. Ann's Warehouse have opened from <a href="/news-features/broadway-theaters-to-reopen-as-part-of-ny-popsup-festival">March 2021</a>. But what does this mean for theatergoers seeing live performances?It's likely you have questions about what Broadway reopening will look like in the coming days, weeks and months. Here's all the latest information on what future theater events in New York will look like, including Coronavirus guidelines and performance dates. This feature will be updated as soon as new information is made available, regarding the future of Broadway shows and Broadway theatres.<h2>When did Broadway theatres first close?</h2>Broadway theatres first closed on Mar. 12, 2020, initially as a precautionary measure to stop the spread of Coronavirus in New York City. At first, theatres were closed for just one month, with a rolling closure date that was to&nbsp;May 30, 2021.<h2>How long is it until&nbsp;Broadway opens again?</h2>There's two dates.&nbsp;On May 3, <a href="/news-features/new-york-capacity-restrictions-to-lift-from-may-19-says-governor-cuomo">Governor Cuomo stated Broadway theatres could open from as early as May 19.</a>&nbsp;But, on May 5, Cuomo said that Broadway theatres could <a href="/news-features/broadway-theatres-to-reopen-september-14-2021-says-governor-cuomo">reopen with full capacity from September 14.&nbsp;</a>But, Pass Over&nbsp;began performances on August&nbsp;4 and&nbsp;<a href="/show/pass-over">Pass Over&nbsp;tickets are on sale now.</a><h2>How is the Broadway industry reacting to reopening again?&nbsp;</h2>Obviously, everyone on Broadway is very excited at the thought of theatres opening in a matter of months. As reported in <a href="https://broadwaynews.com/2021/05/03/momentum-builds-behind-broadways-reopening/" target="_blank">Broadway News</a>, "theatrical offices have been working to ready Broadway productions... compared to prior campaigns... marketing [will] emphasize&nbsp;the emotional promise of the show, rather than its critical acclaim... without announced reopening dates or&nbsp;set protocols for&nbsp;Broadway's return, much of the work being done now can feel like rushing toward an unknown goal... what's clear thus far is that the gears to reopen the industry are in motion."&nbsp;<h2>Will I have to wear a mask at the theatre?</h2>Full Covid-19 safety protocols for performances at Broadway theatres are in discussion. In a <a href="https://broadwaynews.com/2021/05/18/broadway-league-to-evaluate-guidelines-on-masking-as-new-york-lifts-mandate/" target="_blank">report from Broadway News</a>, "Broadway leaders are evaluating the protocols for audience members and casts.&nbsp;On Monday [17 May], Cuomo said the state would follow guidance... and lift mask and social distancing requirements for vaccinated individuals in most indoor and outdoor settings. This could allow Broadway houses to reopen this fall to maskless patrons." Specific vaccination requirements for audience members are to be announced.&nbsp;In a tweet from <a href="https://twitter.com/MichaelPaulson/status/1410973082219655171" target="_blank">Michael Paulson at the New York Times</a>, Actors Equity are ending their requirement for the "testing and offstage masking of actors and stage managers at theaters around the country with fully vaccinated companies." Further details on what this means for Broadway theatres are to be announced.&nbsp;Governor Cuomo has stated his preference for theatres to make vaccinations mandatory for all audience members. This would mean you need to have had a Covid vaccination before visiting the theatre.&nbsp;If you are attending a performance as part of NY PopsUp Festival, you do not need a Covid vaccine to enter the respective premises. However, you will need to prove a negative Covid test that's taken before the event before entry, meaning you can't just turn up.&nbsp;<h2>Will vaccines be made mandatory for Broadway performers?</h2>The Broadway League and the Actors' Equity Association said on July 29 that Covid vaccinations will be mandatory for their workforce. The vaccine mandate means that, in order to be part of a Broadway show, you will need to be vaccinated, except those who cannot for age or health risk. Performers and crews will also be tested weekly, and shows will need a Covid-19 safety manager.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="/news-features/broadway-vaccine-rules-new-york-shows-covid-vaccinations">Read more about vaccine requirements on Broadway here.</a><h2>Can I get a Covid vaccine on Broadway?</h2>Yes you can! New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio confirmed a <a href="/news-features/new-york-city-mayor-announces-broadway-reopening-plan-including-vaccinations">Broadway vaccination site dedicated to the theater industry and its respective workers</a>. Although the vaccination site will open in a few weeks time, the mayor has also spoke of the greater possibility that all Broadway shows will be able to reopen in the fall.&nbsp;<h2>Will Broadway theatres be Covid safe?</h2>Definitely. There's many caveats&nbsp;producers and creatives are having to adhere to in order to stage a live show. As stated by New York State's Department of Health: "attendee capacity of any performance must be limited to the lesser of 33% of the maximum occupancy for the particular area or 50 people; exclusive of performers, crew, and other staff who are necessary for the event." The maximum number of attendees for live theatre performances is 150, with all attendees having to prove they've had either a Covid vaccine or a negative Covid test.There'll be a number of safety measures installed into all venues, designed&nbsp;for the safety of cast, creative team and audience members. There'll be hand sanitizing stations, as well as mandatory social distancing inside the theatre.<h2>Which Broadway theatres are opening first?</h2>As part of NY PopsUp Festival, certain Broadway theatres will be allowed to reopen for performances on select dates. The only Broadway theatre confirmed so far is the <a href="/theatres/music-box-theatre">Music Box Theatre</a>, which will open at some point in April.&nbsp;A list of further Broadway theatres to open as part of NY PopsUp is to be announced at a later date.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>Which Broadway theatres are open now as normal?</h2>Currently,&nbsp;<a href="/theatres/st-james-theatre">St. James Theatre</a>&nbsp;is open with&nbsp;Springsteen on Broadway&nbsp;and&nbsp;Pass Over&nbsp;is at the&nbsp;<a href="/theatres/august-wilson-theatre">August Wilson Theatre</a>.Future theatres to open include&nbsp;<a href="/theatres/al-hirschfield-theatre">Al Hirschfeld Theatre</a>, <a href="/theatres/ambassadors-theatre">Ambassador Theatre</a>, <a href="/theatres/american-airlines-theatre">American Airlines Theatre</a>, <a href="/theatres/barrymore-theatre">Barrymore Theatre</a>, <a href="/theatres/belasco-theatre">Belasco Theatre</a>, <a href="/theatres/bernard-b-jacobs-theatre">Bernard B.

August Wilson's <a href="/show/the-piano-lesson">The Piano Lesson</a> will be revived on Broadway with a star-studded cast in 2022, it has been announced. <a href="/show/the-piano-lesson">The Piano Lesson</a> is part of Wilson's Pittsburgh Cycle, which earned Wilson his second Pulitzer Prize for Drama.Set in Pittsburgh during the aftermath of the Great Depression, a family argue about what to do with their piano. It's an heirloom passed down through the generations, but with the family needing to survive, debate ensues about keeping the musical instrument. Should they sell the piano to buy the land, or keep it as a treasured artefact?In a tweet from <a href="https://twitter.com/BazBam/status/1367614850223009792" target="_blank">Daily Mail entertainment reporter Baz Bamigboye</a>,&nbsp;Samuel L. Jackson will star in <a href="/show/the-piano-lesson">The Piano Lesson</a>, who originally made his Broadway debut in the original 1990 production.

In 2013, an off-Broadway production ran at Signature Theater, with Tulis McCall <a href="/reviews/the-piano-lesson">saying</a>: "The Piano Lesson is many lessons all packed into one collection of people, who, like all of us, possess magic and secrets, shining gifts and shameful memories, extraordinary moments and daily deeds. They are raw and ragged. They are wistful and practical. They scratch at the ties that bind them, and provide balm when the ties chaff to the point of drawing blood."On March 10, Netflix confirmed that&nbsp;The Piano Lesson&nbsp;will be adapted on screen. Details on The Piano Lesson&nbsp;Netflix premiere date is to be announced.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">The next August Wilson adaptation is officially coming to Netflix — THE PIANO LESSON, from the producers of MA RAINEY'S BLACK BOTTOM. <a href="https://t.co/gXlGVxhdLU">pic.twitter.com/gXlGVxhdLU</a>— NetflixFilm (@NetflixFilm) <a href="https://twitter.com/NetflixFilm/status/1369694679403405312?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 10, 2021</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><a href="/show/the-piano-lesson">The Piano Lesson</a> is on Broadway in 2022.Photo credit: Samuel L Jackson and Danielle Brooks (Photos courtesy of Samuel L Jackson and IBDB)

In this year's Time 100 Next list, Broadway actors and creatives are recognised both on the list, as well as giving commentary on why individuals have earned their place.Originating the roles of John Laurens/Phillip Hamilton in <a href="/show/hamilton">Hamilton </a>at the <a href="/theatres/richard-rodgers-theatre">Richard Rodgers Theatre,</a> Anthony Ramos is on the list. Since Hamilton, he's also starred in films including A Star is Born and will play Usnavi in the movie adaptation of In The Heights. Speaking about Ramos, <a href="https://time.com/collection/time100-next-2021/5938768/anthony-ramos/" target="_blank">Leslie Odom Jr. wrote</a>: "For the culture, we must protect Anthony Ramos at all costs... He is charting his own path... The emotional range and acting facility, the wit and wicked sense of humor, the one-in-a-millon singing voice come together within a special person whose bounty of gifts is matched with a rock-solid humanity and core of integrity. We can trust Ramos with the keys he is about to be given. He has been well-prepared. His voice matters. The space he occupies matters."&nbsp;Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda also spoke of Amanda Gorman, the first National Youth Poet Laureate who performed at President Joe Biden's Inauguration. <a href="https://time.com/collection/time100-next-2021/5937743/amanda-gorman/" target="_blank">Miranda said</a>: "If the hardest part of an artist's job is to fully and honestly meet the moment, Amanda delivered a master class. She spoke truth to power and embodied clear-eyed hope to a weary nation. She revealed us to ourselves. Here's the best part: there are so many more moments for Amanda Gorman to meet. Now the world knows the poet's name."&nbsp;Amber Ruffin has also made the list, recently <a href="/news-features/amber-ruffin-joins-the-broadway-creative-team-of-some-like-it-hot-as-co-writer">announced as part of the Some Like It Hot creative team</a>.

Victoria Pedretti has joined the Broadway cast of [*An Enemy of the People*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/29430-an-enemy-of-the-people-tickets) at the [Circle in the Square Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/circle-in-the-square-theatre), playing a limited 16-week engagement beginning February 27.

Pedretti, primarily a television actress, is best known for her critically acclaimed performances as Love Quinn in *You*, Nell Crain in *The Haunting of Hill House*, and Dani Clayton in *The Haunting of Bly Manor*. Now, she makes her Broadway debut as Petra Stockmann in the latest revival of Henrik Ibsen's classic play, newly adapted by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award nominee Amy Herzog.

The *Enemy of the People* Broadway cast also includes the [previously announced](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/michael-imperioli-joins-jeremy-strong-in-enemy-of-the-people-broadway-cast) [Jeremy Strong](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/jeremy-strong) as Dr. Thomas Stockmann and [Michael Imperioli](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/michael-imperioli), also in his Broadway debut, as Peter Stockmann. Complete casting has yet to be announced.

Directed by Tony winner Sam Gold, *An Enemy of the People* centers on Thomas Stockmann, a doctor who calls out contaminated water in his town's spa baths. But instead of being hailed for saving lives, he becomes the target of hate for upending the town's economy and reputation.

The musical also features a book by Pulitzer Prize finalist Kristoffer Diaz, direction by four-time Tony Award nominee Michael Greif, set design by Robert Brill, costume design by Dede Ayite, lighting design by Natasha Katz, sound design by Gareth Owen, projection design by Peter Nigrini, hair and wig design by Mia Neal, orchestrations by Tom Kitt and Adam Blackstone, arrangements by Keys and Blackstone, and music consultation by Kitt.

*Hell's Kitchen* is currently premiering off Broadway at [The Public Theater](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/public-theater), where it runs through January 14. New York Theatre Guide's four-star [review](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/hells-kitchen-off-broadway-review-alicia-keys) reads, "Under Michael Greif's direction, Keys's home neighborhood is a living, pulsing, vibrant soundscape."

The cast of *Hell's Kitchen* off Broadway includes Shoshana Bean as Jersey, Chad Carstarphen as Ray, Brandon Victor Dixon as Davis, Vanessa Ferguson as Tiny, Crystal Monee Hall as Crystal, Chris Lee as Knuck, Jackie Leon as Jessica, Kecia Lewis as Miss Liza Jane, Maleah Joi Moon as Ali, Mariand Torres as Maria, and Lamont Walker II as Riq.

The top Black Friday and Cyber Monday ticket deals in New York

Theatre ticketing platform TodayTix is hosting its annual ticket sale, and we rounded up the best deals on Broadway shows, attractions, experiences, and more.

Harold Prince, affectionately known within the industry as "Hal," went down in history as the driving force — either as director, producer, or both — behind some of the 20th century's most beloved musicals. *West Side Story*. *Fiddler on the Roof*. [*Cabaret*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/32847-cabaret-tickets). [*Sweeney Todd*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/26216-sweeney-todd-on-broadway-tickets). *The Phantom of the Opera*. The list goes on for miles.

But before any of those were storied classics, they were unknown, original musicals breaking into a busy Broadway scene. New works were Prince's bread-and-butter throughout his career, right up until his death in 2019. Truly, *right* up: Mere days before his passing, he was reportedly giving notes on his final project, the musical [*How to Dance in Ohio*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/32763-how-to-dance-in-ohio-tickets), which debuted on Broadway on November 15.

Based on Alexandra Shiva's 2015 documentary of the same name, *How to Dance in Ohio* dramatizes the stories of autistic young adults preparing for a spring formal dance, part of a social skills program at their group counseling center. Shiva was inspired to make the documentary to not only [celebrate autistic people](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/how-to-dance-in-ohio-pioneers-a-more-accessible-broadway) and their coming of age, but also shed light on the challenges they face as they begin to age out of institutional support. 

One such autistic person who inspired this project? Lucy Chaplin, Prince's now-25-year-old granddaughter.

She is not a character in the show or a subject in the documentary, but the film is dedicated to her. Prince, similarly, wanted to produce a Broadway show about autism in her honor. And it just so happened that, through a seemingly destined chain of events, *Ohio* came full-circle to land on his desk.

It was 2017 when Shiva approved writers Jacob Yandura and Rebekah Greer Melocik to musicalize *Ohio*. "Around the same time, we met Ben Holtzman and Sammy Lopez, who are two [of *Ohio*'s] early producers," Yandura recalled. "They were looking for a show to just start from the ground up."

"Ben was working in the Hal Prince office, and Hal said he wanted to do a show about autism. And Ben was like, 'Well, I think we have the right people for you.'"

Prince almost immediately signed on to direct, and he, Yandura, and Melocik worked closely on *How to Dance in Ohio* for the next two years. Prince staged early workshops. He took detailed notes in the margins of three copies of the script. He, the writers, and the producers recorded every meeting they had about the show.

"He gave us all of his wisdom right from the beginning," Yandura said. And suddenly, on July 31, 2019, that written and recorded wisdom, and the team's memories of their collaboration, were all that was left.

Director Sammi Cannold eventually took over the reins from Prince thanks to Yandura, who invited her for a coffee meeting via Instagram that led to an interview for the job. Like Prince, she has an autistic relative (her brother) and was already familiar with the documentary.

"I was very daunted and humbled by the potential task of picking up where this legend left off," Cannold remembered. "Those [recordings and notes] have been my north star as I've been working through the show and trying to honor the vision of what he intended this piece to be, while, of course, never actually being him."

"To make my Broadway debut while trying to uphold that that vision has been the greatest honor," she continued. Yandura, Melocik, and a majority of the [principal cast](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/meet-the-cast-of-how-to-dance-in-ohio-on-broadway) make their Broadway debuts alongside her, too, after they finally premiered the completed show in Syracuse in 2022.

Considering Prince's passion for new work and talent, *How to Dance in Ohio* seems like it turned out just as he'd have wanted.

<h2>The Magic Flute</h2>

The Magic Flute continues The Metropolitan Opera's annual tradition of presenting abridged, English-language operas around the holidays to bring in family audiences. The opera starts off like many classic fairytales, with a prince sent by a queen to rescue a princess in distress. He's helped along in his quest by the titular charmed instrument, which turns sadness into joy when he plays it. Once he rescues the princess, however, the two realize her captor is actually kind and wise, and it's the queen that needs to be defeated.

[Danny DeVito](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/danny-devito)'s return to Broadway, in the new comedy play [*I Need That*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/28198-i-need-that-on-broadway), is an event unto itself. "It's exciting as can be," he said, a statement his many fans would likely echo.

But there's only one thing more exciting than a DeVito on stage, and that's two DeVitos on stage.

The Emmy-winning, Tony-nominated star of *Taxi* and *It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia* now performs opposite Lucy DeVito, his daughter with a sizable stage and screen resume of her own. Fittingly, they play father and daughter through December 30 in *I Need That* — albeit a father, Sam, with a hoarding problem that requires his daughter Amelia's intervention lest he face eviction.

Working together for weeks on end might cause similar tension in some families, especially ones who've never shared the stage. Danny DeVito has only been on Broadway once before, in 2017's *The Price*, and Lucy DeVito is making her debut. But their offstage relationship is stronger than ever.

"To hang out with her every day for months doing the rehearsals, and now doing the play every night, I just can't wait to go to work," Danny DeVito said.

"Working with my dad has brought me and him closer," Lucy DeVito echoed. "We're buddies! He's my best friend! We're having so much fun."

She went on to describe her dad as "the funniest dude ever," but when asked what he admires about his daughter, the elder DeVito got more thoughtful. "I always admire her because she has a great work ethic," he said. "She's very funny and she's genuine and loving, but she also takes it very seriously."

Their bond is apparent to everyone else involved in *I Need That*, too, including Ray Anthony Thomas, who stars opposite the DeVitos as a longtime friend of Sam's; playwright Theresa Rebeck; and director Moritz von Stuelpnagel (he and Rebeck are another dynamic duo, having collaborated five times before).

"If somebody discovers something in their performance, the other one will often break character because they're so proud to see what they've come up with," von Stuelpnagel said. "I have to remind them, 'Stay in character!'"

He may joke about the DeVitos derailing his rehearsals, but he sincerely added, "That joy and admiration and respect has been infectious to the whole room."

Lance Foster and Suzy Jane Hunt, who understudy Thomas and Lucy DeVito, respectively, attested to that, too. "It's rare to see family members work together, let alone family members from different generations," Foster noted. "I've never seen a mother and a daughter or a father and a daughter [perform together on Broadway]."

"It makes me miss my dad, honestly, to watch them interact, and the way you can't quite tell if they're acting, running a scene, or chatting in the corners," Hunt added.

But as much as the DeVitos's stage collaboration is a monumental occasion, hearing them talk about how they "goof off all the time" (Lucy's words) and share cannolis backstage (one of their many weekly rituals, also including a taco Tuesday), you'd think they were simply spending ordinary quality time like any other father and daughter.

Said Lucy DeVito: "We are able to talk about the work, and then we're able to leave that aside, and then my family's going to come, and we're all going to have Thanksgiving."

Danny DeVito and his daughter, Lucy DeVito, join forces in Theresa Rebeck's play, which marks the younger DeVito's Broadway debut and the elder's return.

She's livin' it up on top! Grammy Award winner Ani DiFranco will make her Broadway debut in [*Hadestown*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/14748-hadestown-tickets), beginning on February 9 at the [Walter Kerr Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/walter-kerr-theatre).

Known as the "Little Folksinger," DiFranco is known for being one of the first musical artists to create her own record label, Righteous Babe Records, in the 1990s. She has performed with Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Brandi Carlile, and more, and her best-known albums include *Little Plastic Castle* and 2021's *Revolutionary Love*.

DiFranco's history with *Hadestown* began in 2010, when creator Anaïs Mitchell was first making *Hadestown* into a concept album. DiFranco originated the role of Persephone on the album and invited Mitchell to release it through Righteous Babe Records.

Now, DiFranco will play Persephone on stage, replacing fellow musician [Betty Who](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/betty-who), who departs the show on February 4. The *Hadestown* Broadway cast also includes [Jordan Fisher](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/jordan-fisher) as Orpheus, Lillias White as Hermes, Phillip Boykin as Hades, Solea Pfeiffer as Eurydice, and Lindsey Hailes, Belén Moyano, and Brit West as the Fates.

*Hadestown* reimagines the Greek myths of Orpheus, Eurydice, Hades, Persephone, and more as a tragic love story with a folk and jazz sound. Upon premiering on Broadway in 2019, the show won eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Original Score for Mitchell, and Best Direction of a Musical for Rachel Chavkin.

The Grammy Award-winning musician, who originated the role of Persephone on the show's initial concept album, will now play the role at the Walter Kerr Theatre.

The company of the new Broadway musical [*How to Dance in Ohio*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/32763-how-to-dance-in-ohio-tickets) has a saying: "If you've met one autistic individual, you've met one autistic individual." The show centers on the coming-of-age stories of seven autistic, young adults preparing for a formal dance, and no two of their experiences, journeys, or milestones are the same. So it goes, too, for the people playing them.

All seven actors starring in *Ohio* reprise their roles from the 2022 Syracuse world premiere of the musical, which in turn are based on real people from an award-winning documentary by Alexandra Shiva. The young actors are all making their Broadway debuts, and most importantly, they're all autistic. 

"We were able to bring our natural selves into these characters," actor Conor Tague said. "The fact that autistic people are playing autistic characters is growing — it started off with Kayla Cromer for *Everything's Gonna Be Okay*, and now we're next."

The principal cast also includes four neurotypical actors, three of whom are Broadway veterans, making *Ohio* truly diverse in every sense of the word — in neurotype, race, gender, age, and experience level. Said Tague, "This is the kind of representation we all need."

Get to know the cast of *How to Dance in Ohio*, who share more about their characters, how they relate (and don't relate) to them, and fun facts about themselves as performers.

## Desmond Luis Edwards

Many actors say they bring themselves to their characters, but for Edwards, as the character Remy, it was partly the other way around.

__Who they play:__ Remy is an avid cosplayer and really into fashion and costumes and makeup. My character just started a cosplay channel, and he's trying to get a little bit of recognition, but this recognition comes in some unexpected ways, and now he has to learn how to cope with that.

__What they love about their character:__ I love to do digital art and fashion design, and I actually picked up cosplay because my character does cosplay. Both my character and I are very artistic as well as autistic!

__Fun fact:__ I am one of the first openly intersex people to be on Broadway.

![amelia-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/4SpCLOwzDPCPFhhRWBcM6O/5b46dfdac5e24ad589d0bd82374cae62/amelia-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## Amelia (Yi-Hsuan) Fei

When describing what playing her character, Caroline, taught her, Fei referenced Stephen Sondheim's *Into the Woods*: "Nice is different than good."

__Who she plays:__ Caroline is a freshman in college, and she just got her first boyfriend. She's very excited — her special interest is romance, loves *Bridgerton*, the Regency [Era]. She pictured her life in a certain way and then realizes, "I thought having a boyfriend is so wonderful, but I don't know how to set boundaries."

__What she loves about her character:__ [Caroline] is truly someone who'll heal [my] inner child. It's just such a delight to play her.

__Fun fact:__ I used to have "bark like a chihuahua" under my special skills [on my resume], and I'm very proud of that skill!

![liam-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/4okAfWtqGApltnqEL05Mf4/d7652b22a50cc99a5626f074bbf39a01/liam_actual-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## Liam Pearce

Pearce makes his Broadway debut as Drew, an empath who just wants the best for his friends — which seems like the vibe between the cast off stage as well.

__Who he plays:__ Drew tackles situations or struggles that he has in a straightforward, step-by-step format. He cares a lot about his friends — he can tell you what is going on in every one of his friends' lives because he's so adamant [about] listening and observing.

__What he loves about his character:__ The way he develops feelings for Marideth throughout the show is very similar to the way I develop crushes on people. Watching the ways that he tries to speak to her and his struggle and accomplishments with that is fascinating.

__Fun fact:__ I am making my Broadway debut playing opposite a person who is a foot and a half shorter than me.

![madison-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/4LWETwokYKjaj2AZGiousT/926acdbaf9d315b5d0185b151edada65/madison-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## Madison Kopec

Kopec's Marideth is the quietest of the bunch, but over the course of *Ohio*, she learns how to reach out to others — and finds unexpected friendship and love along the way.

__Who they play:__ Marideth keeps to herself most of the time unless she gets going on something she's interested in, like geography — then she could talk your ear off forever.

__What they love about their character:__ She and I are very similar in our journey to adulthood and figuring out, "Okay, I'm 18. Now what?" That story is going to be relatable for people.

__Fun fact:__ I am playing opposite someone who is a foot and a half taller than me.

![imani-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/6KfjTrir971kJ7P8I6uxmB/d9b0e5f367686a31bf03c6b261f6d0ee/imani-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## Imani Russell

Russell makes their Broadway debut as Mel, the only one of the seven main characters without a direct real-life counterpart. The character is a composite of multiple people — including Russell.

__Who they play:__ I play Mel. They love reptiles, they're a very spiritual person, they love quotes. They're the only character we see of the seven autistic principals that has a job and is living on their own. That is super important for me to portray as someone in a similar position.

__What they love about their character:__ I was able to have a lot of conversations with Rebekah [Greer Melocik], the writer, about autism and its relationship to queerness and how that has affected me. She was so willing to implement that into the character, which means a lot to me and will also mean a lot to [my] queer and trans/non-binary friends who are also autistic.

__Fun fact:__ I'm a classically trained singer, so I started out singing opera and arias. Now I'm doing musical theatre!

## Conor Tague

Tague moved to New York just a few weeks before *Ohio* rehearsals to play Tommy. "I lived in Florida and I had a lot of trouble back there," he said. "I'm really happy to be in New York and to be making my Broadway debut and to have a reason to come up here and live my authentic self."

__Who he plays:__ Tommy's goal is to become a licensed driver, and he wants to borrow his brother's truck for practice. His brother doesn't want him to do that, but that ain't gonna stop him.

__What he loves about his character:__ Tommy, like me, is a comic book nerd. He loves Marvel and DC and sci-fi/fantasy, like *Star Wars* and *Lord of the Rings*. But there is one major difference between me and Tommy: Tommy wants to be a licensed driver. But not me. I'm good with the subway.

__Fun fact:__ I also do puppetry. I was inspired by John Tartaglia, who's widely known for *Avenue Q*. I met John when I was 15, and he knows about our show!

## Ashley Wool

Rounding out the septet of autistic leads is Ashley Wool, making her Broadway debut as the strong-willed Jessica.

__Who she plays:__ Jessica is a young woman who is really determined and ambitious to check off all of the necessary boxes of adulthood. She's really dedicated to going to therapy, to make sure she's doing everything expected of her, and a large part of her character is learning that nothing happens on an exact timeline for everybody. She's watching her best friend have her first boyfriend, and she has some feelings about that.

__What she loves about her character:__ [She learns that] everyone's timeline is different. Everyone's story is different. Everybody's milestones are different.

__Fun fact:__ I still have a grody old piece of wood from my high school production of *Footloose* 20 years ago. It's in my New York City apartment, and I'm planning to put it in the dressing room.

## Caesar Samayoa

Samayoa comes to *How to Dance in Ohio* from another Broadway musical inspired by a true story, *Come From Away*, in which he performed for its entire five-year run.

__Who he plays:__ I play Dr. Emilio Amigo — he is the owner and one of the counselors at the counseling center. Inspired by the young men and women that go to the center, he comes up with the idea of of holding a spring formal. His heart bursts open and his life changes because of what he's learning.

__What he loves about his character:__ [The real Amigo and I have] been emailing back and forth, and we will be meeting in person very soon. What I'm getting from his energy and from how he runs his center is the belief that we are limitless and that we should always be striving for more, to break our boundaries.

__Fun fact:__ I tend to only do roles that are based on real things.

## Cristina Sastre

Sastre makes her Broadway debut as Ashley Amigo, a young girl who grew up in her father's counseling center and is now looking to forge her own path.

__Who she plays:__ Ashley Amigo is the daughter of Dr. Amigo, the head psychologist at the Amigo Family Counseling Center. She has just come back from school, where she's a dancer, and she's feeling conflicted about what she wants to do with her life.

__What he loves about his character:__ When I got the audition packet, I was like, this feels like me. I really connect to her not being sure if this thing she's poured so much time and energy into is the right thing. I relate to her doubt and her feeling of responsibility to her parents who have given up so much for her, but at the same time, the strength to listen to the voice inside of you.

__Fun fact:__ I love to paint and draw. When I was a very small child, before I decided to be an actor, I thought I would be an artist.

## Darlesia Cearcy

With five previous Broadway credits to her name, most recently *Once on This Island*, Cearcy returns to theatre in a motherly role on and off stage.

__Who she plays:__ Johanna is not necessarily a character — she's a real woman, and she is the mother to Caroline.

__What she loves about her character:__ I too, am a mother. I bring that to my character and to the seven [lead actors]. Sometimes they're like, "Okay, can you pull back?" But it's all with love. That protective, motherly spirit — I just can't help it!

__Fun fact:__ Before I moved into musical theatre, my former training is as a classical ballet dancer. Once I decided I wanted to move into leading-lady parts, I covered my body so they wouldn't see me standing in first position.

## Haven Burton

Broadway veteran Haven Burton says she always tries to bring herself to her roles, but she described her role as Terry in particular as "art imitating life imitating art."

__Who she plays:__ Terry is Jessica's mother and best friends with Johanna.

__What she loves about her character:__ I'm a mom, and I have history with my own mother that I'm bringing into that. I also have a son who is on the autism spectrum, so it's been beautiful to bring that in and learn a lot from my fellow cast members, and from Terry as as the character is written. Her relationship with her daughter has informed my personal life.

__Fun fact:__ I do lots of funny voices — I do lots of animated characters from *Pokémon*.
