<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/mrs-doubtfire" target="_blank">Mrs. Doubtfire</a> is on the way out, dear. The musical, which reopened on April 14 after a hiatus, is set to close at the <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/stephen-sondheim-theatre" target="_blank">Stephen Sondheim Theatre</a> on May 29.Mrs. Doubtfire, an adaptation of the 1993 Robin Williams film of the same name, had its world premiere in Seattle in 2019. The musical played its first three performances in March 2020 before the industry shutdown, resuming performances on October 21, 2021 and opening on December 5.On January 2, the show's producers announced that <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/news-features/%E2%80%98mrs-doubtfire%E2%80%99-takes-broadway-hiatus-citing-covid-19" target="_blank">Mrs. Doubtfire would go on hiatus for nine weeks</a>, from January 10 to March 14, "to keep the virus from prematurely ending our run on Broadway," said producer Kevin McCollum. That announcement came after multiple shows, including Mrs. Doubtfire, were forced to cancel some December performances due to Covid-19 cases in their companies, and <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/news-features/%E2%80%98ain%E2%80%99t-too-proud%E2%80%99-to-close-on-broadway" target="_blank">multiple others closed prematurely</a>."By taking this break we can afford to launch an extended run starting in March," McCollum said at the time. The hiatus was later extended to April 14, when the show reopened with most of the previous cast."Even though New York City is getting stronger every day and ticket sales are slowly improving, theatre-going tourists and, especially for our show, family audiences have not returned as soon as we anticipated," McCollum said in a May 12 statement about the permanent closure.<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/news-features/guide-to-family-friendly-theatre-in-new-york-city-broadways-shows-for-kids-and-more" target="_blank">Discover more family-friendly shows on and off Broadway.</a>Mrs. Doubtfire stars <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/rob-mcclure" target="_blank">Rob McClure</a> in the dual role of Daniel Hillard and Mrs. Doubtfire. (For his performance, McClure received the musical's <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/news-features/2022-tony-award-nominees-announced-a-strange-loop-leads" target="_blank">sole 2022 Tony Award nomination</a>.) Daniel is an out-of-work actor and father who has divorced from his wife. Desperate to see his children, Daniel adopts the disguise of Mrs. Doubtfire, an elderly British woman, and gets hired as the children's nanny.The <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/mrs-doubtfire-broadway-review" target="_blank">New York Theatre Guide review</a> praised McClure's performance, reading, "The always nimble McClure (Chaplin) gamely throws himself into the nutty nanny's antics and brrr-ing brogue. He's arguably the hardest-working actor on Broadway right now as he channels Williams and ping-pongs madly between Mrs. D and Daniel, whose masquerade makes him a better man."At the time of closing, the Mrs. Doubtfire cast also included Jenn Gambatese as Miranda Hillard, Analise Scarpaci as Lydia Hillard, Titus Landegger and Tyler Wladis as Christopher Hillard, Austin Elle Fisher and Ava Gail Prince as Natalie Hillard, Brad Oscar as Frank Hillard, Peter Bartlett as Mr. Jolly, Charity Angél Dawson as Wanda Sellner, Mark Evans as Stuart Dunmire, and J. Harrison Ghee as Andre Mayem.John O'Farrell and Karey Kirkpatrick adapted the film's script for the stage, with Karey and Wayne Kirkpatrick providing original music and lyrics. Direction was by Jerry Zaks and choreography by Lorin Latarro.Mrs. Doubtfire&nbsp;will release a cast album in June. The show will then play a limited engagement in England this summer and launch a U.S. national tour in October 2023.<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/mrs-doubtfire" target="_blank">Get Mrs. Doubtfire tickets on New York Theatre Guide.</a>Photo credit: Rob McClure in Mrs Doubtfire (Photo courtesy of production)

SIX on Broadway [20737]

SIX on Broadway

Don't lose your head! A new block of tickets is on sale for Six on Broadway, with tickets available for performances through November 20. The show is currently nominated for eight Tony Awards including Best Musical.

The show is nominated for eight 2022 Tony Awards.

The <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/news-features/2022-tony-award-nominees-announced-a-strange-loop-leads" target="_blank">2022 Tony nominations</a> are here, recognizing the best and the brightest of the 2021-22 Broadway season. Lots of shows got to have their long-awaited, triumphant openings after being postponed by the pandemic, and many more fully new plays and musicals hit the Broadway stage for the first time. Multiple 2022 Tony nominees finished their runs in the fall, but with so many show openings this spring, there are still plenty of Tony-nominated Broadway shows you can catch on stage right now.Now, before the <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/news-features/tony-awards-guide-how-to-watch-nominees-and-more" target="_blank">2022 Tony Awards ceremony on June 12</a>, is the best time to get your seats, before these shows become Tony Award winners and become even hotter tickets. Here are all the Tony Award-nominated shows you can see on Broadway right now.<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/whats-on/broadway/tony-nominees" target="_blank">Get tickets to a Tony nominee on New York Theatre Guide.</a><h2>A Strange Loop</h2>With a host of Off-Broadway trophies and a Pulitzer Prize under its belt already, it's no wonder that&nbsp;A Strange Loop&nbsp;now leads the pack of Tony nominees with 11 nods. Michael R. Jackson wrote this musical about the process of writing this musical, swapping himself out for a main character named Usher. The young, Black, gay musical writer grapples with his own self-destructive thoughts as he tries to succeed in an unforgiving world. Among a&nbsp;A Strange Loop's nominations are Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Original Score, and three acting nominations: for Broadway newcomer Jaquel Spivey as Usher, and two of the Thoughts: L Morgan Lee (the first openly transgender performer to get a Tony nomination for acting) and John-Andrew Morrison.<h2>MJ The Musical</h2>Trailing Michael R. Jackson in nominations is, well, Michael Jackson.&nbsp;MJ The Musical, the bio-musical about the life and songs of the King of Pop, snagged 10, including Best Musical. Christopher Wheeldon was nominated for both Best Direction of a Musical and Best Choreography, becoming one of only a few people to receive multiple nominations this year. And Myles Frost, in his Broadway debut, got a Best Leading Actor nomination for transforming into Jackson as he rehearsed rigorously for his 1992 Dangerous World Tour.<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/mj-the-musical" target="_blank">Get&nbsp;MJ The Musical tickets now.</a><h2>Paradise Square</h2>With a 40-person ensemble and plenty of high-stepping dancing,&nbsp;Paradise Square&nbsp;brought a little slice of mega-musical paradise to Broadway and earned 10 Tony nominations for doing so. This show about the Irish immigrants and free Blacks that lived in harmony at a Lower Manhattan tavern in 1863, and the Draft Riots that threatened to tear their relationships apart, was nominated for Best Musical, Best Choreography, Best Book, Best Score, and more. Leading lady Joaquina Kalukango also got a nod for her fiery performance; the New York Theatre Guide review praised her voice as "an embarrassment of riches."<h2>Company</h2>Phone rings, door chimes, in comes&nbsp;Company&nbsp;with nine 2022 Tony nominations! Tony-nominated director Marianne Elliott reimagined Stephen Sondheim's classic musical about a 35-year-old bachelor with a bachelorette instead, and she saw the rewards: The show got a Best Musical Revival nomination and lots of design nominations. Plus, Matt Doyle is nominated for Best Featured Actor, and two actresses are in the running for Best Featured Actress: two-time Tony winner <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/patti-lupone" target="_blank">Patti LuPone</a> as Joanne (who previously won an Olivier Award for playing her role in Company&nbsp;in London) and Jennifer Simard as Sarah.<h2>Six</h2>This "one of a kind, no category" musical got eight Tony nominations for bringing an infectious blend of pop and feminism to Broadway. This show reimagines Henry VIII's six wives as a pop girl group who are competing to be the lead singer. But right now,&nbsp;Six&nbsp;is competing to be Best Musical, a great feat for a musical written by two then-college students! Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss also got a nomination for Best Score, and Moss — one of the youngest female directors in Broadway history — jointly got a Best Direction nomination with Jamie Armitage.<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/six" target="_blank">Get&nbsp;Six tickets now.</a><h2>for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf</h2>Ntozake Shange's&nbsp;for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf, a series of poems and dances about the Black female experience, was groundbreaking when it premiered in 1976. The seven 2022 Tony nominations for its first Broadway revival prove the show has stood the test of time. Director/choreographer Camille A. Brown got doubly nominated in both those categories, and she's also the first Black female director/choreographer on Broadway in nearly 70 years.&nbsp;for colored girls&nbsp;also got nominated for Best Play, and it's only running through May 22, so now's the time to catch it.<h2>Girl From The North Country</h2>Girl From The North Country&nbsp;has a tight connection to the Tony Award voters' hearts, as the show earned seven nominations. Conor McPherson got a nomination for directing, and for writing the original story that accompanies a lush score of Bob Dylan's music. The poignant&nbsp;Girl From The North Country&nbsp;— a Best Musical nominee — centers on the owners and patrons at a Duluth, Minnesota inn and the ways they change each other's lives when their paths cross in unexpected ways.&nbsp;Girl From The North Country&nbsp;is playing a limited run on Broadway through June 11.<h2>The Music Man</h2>Sound the seventy-six trombones to celebrate&nbsp;The Music Man's six Tony nominations in 2022! Stars <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/hugh-jackman" target="_blank">Hugh Jackman</a> and <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/sutton-foster" target="_blank">Sutton Foster</a> got Best Lead Actor and Actress nods, respectively, and the show also got a Best Musical Revival nomination. The story of a con man whose plan to swindle an Iowa town gets complicated when he falls in love with the local librarian (who falls for him back) has been revived on Broadway more than once, but The Music Man's nominations show that the musical is timeless, especially with stars like Jackman and Foster leading the big parade.<h2>The Skin of Our Teeth</h2>The Skin of Our Teeth&nbsp;barreled onto Broadway with the force of a biblical flood, and this experimental, convention-breaking production earned six nods under the direction of Tony nominee Lileana Blain-Cruz. Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize-winning play follows the Antrobus family as they persevere through an ice age, a flood, and a war over the course of many centuries — and in a testament to human endurance, they're still here. As the Antrobuses's maid Sabina, Gabby Beans earned a Best Leading Actress in a play nomination.<h2>Hangmen</h2>The Broadway bow of&nbsp;Hangmen&nbsp;looked like it was dead back in 2020, but it came back in 2022 and got five nominations. Oscar winner Martin McDonagh's dark comedy follows Britain's second-best hangman, Harry, who's running a pub now that hanging has been abolished. He has to deal with cub reporters and locals who want to hear his reaction — and Mooney, a mysterious Londoner with a different motive.&nbsp;Hangmen&nbsp;got a Best Play nomination, and David Threlfall (as Harry) and&nbsp;Game of Thrones&nbsp;star Alfie Allen (as Mooney) both got acting nods.<h2>Mr. Saturday Night</h2>Live from New York, it's <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/billy-crystal" target="_blank">Billy Crystal</a> in&nbsp;Mr. Saturday Night! He got a Tony nomination for reprising his role as Buddy Young Jr. in the stage adaptation of his 1992 film, and the show itself rounds out the Best Musical nominees.&nbsp;Mr. Saturday Night&nbsp;sees Buddy decades past his prime, when he gets one sudden, final chance at fame and at rebuilding his strained relationships with his loved ones. See this show for some good old-fashioned musical comedy, featuring plenty of Crystal in his stand-up element.<h2>American Buffalo</h2>Oscar winner <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/sam-rockwell" target="_blank">Sam Rockwell</a> is adding more to his awards resume, as he just got a Tony nomination for starring in David Mamet's&nbsp;American Buffalo.&nbsp;He, <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/laurence-fishburne" target="_blank">Laurence Fishburne</a>, and <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/darren-criss" target="_blank">Darren Criss</a> play three small-time hustlers who scheme to steal a buffalo nickel that Fishburne's character sold for less than it was worth. This third revival of the show got nominations for Best Play Revival and Best Direction of a Play, for Neil Pepe.<h2>Take Me Out</h2>Take Me Out&nbsp;hit a home run with its casting, as three of the stars in its roster got Best Featured Actor in a play nominations.&nbsp;Grey's Anatomy&nbsp;star Jesse Williams was nominated for playing Darren Lemming, a biracial Major League Baseball player who comes out as gay to the public.&nbsp;Modern Family&nbsp;star <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/jesse-tyler-ferguson" target="_blank">Jesse Tyler Ferguson</a> was nominated for playing Darren's gay, supportive business manager Mason Marzac, a role that won Denis O'Hare a Tony nearly 20 years ago. And Michael Oberholtzer was nominated for playing Shane Mungitt, the team's new pitcher who doesn't take kindly to Darren's race or sexuality. On top of all that,&nbsp;Take Me Out&nbsp;got nominated for Best Play Revival, and the show is up to bat for the last time on June 11.<h2>How I Learned to Drive</h2>For driving onto Broadway 25 years after its Off-Broadway premiere,&nbsp;How I Learned to Drive&nbsp;(on Broadway through May 29) earned three Tony Award nominations. In addition to Best Play Revival, two-time Tony winner <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/mary-louise-parker" target="_blank">Mary-Louise Parker</a> was nominated for playing a troubled woman named Li'l Bit looking back on memories of her uncle, and <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/david-morse" target="_blank">David Morse</a> was nominated for playing Peck, Li'l Bit's uncle who molested her as a girl. The pair previously starred in the show off Broadway in 1997 and received accolades then, too.<h2>Macbeth</h2>In&nbsp;Macbeth, the witches come in threes, and so do Tony nominations.&nbsp;Passing&nbsp;and&nbsp;Loving&nbsp;star Ruth Negga was nominated for Best Leading Actress in a Play for playing Lady Macbeth opposite <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/daniel-craig" target="_blank">Daniel Craig</a>'s Macbeth, and the lighting and sound designers also snagged nominations. Sam Gold, who previously directed&nbsp;King Lear&nbsp;on Broadway with Glenda Jackson, is also at the helm of this latest revival of Shakespeare's famous tragedy about a power-hungry couple who go to murderous lengths to make a witches' prophecy come true.<h2>POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive</h2>Broadway-debut playwright Selina Fillinger's farce&nbsp;POTUS&nbsp;got three Tony nominations and countless laughs this year. Two of the seven women mentioned in the title got nominated for Best Featured Actress:&nbsp;Saturday Night Live&nbsp;star Rachel Dratch as the POTUS's secretary and Tony Award winner Julie White as his chief of staff. The entire ensemble — which also includes Vanessa Williams, Lea DeLaria, Julianne Hough, Suzy Nakamura, and Lilli Cooper — is formidable, though, as the inner circle of a problematic president who have to clean up his messes and get into mayhem of their own.<h2>Plaza Suite</h2>Plaza Suite&nbsp;just got a costume design nomination this year, but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty more to love about Neil Simon's farce. You can see <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/sarah-jessica-parker" target="_blank">Sarah Jessica Parker</a> and <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/matthew-broderick" target="_blank">Matthew Broderick</a> — a real-life married couple — play three separate couples navigating relationship issues in a strikingly perfect rendition of the Plaza Hotel's Suite 719. Laughs abound as they play a long-married couple on the decline, two high school sweethearts clumsily rekindling their romance, and the frantic parents of a bride who's suddenly gotten cold feet.<h2>The Minutes</h2>The Minutes&nbsp;only got one nomination, but it's a big one: Best Play. And there's a stacked roster of talent to be seen on stage. Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy Letts wrote and starred in this show about long-hidden secrets that get revealed when a man asks the wrong questions at a small-town council meeting. The council also includes&nbsp;Schitt's Creek&nbsp;star Noah Reid,&nbsp;Waitress&nbsp;star Jessie Mueller, and Tony nominee Austin Pendleton.<h2>Mrs. Doubtfire</h2>Mrs. Doubtfire&nbsp;is a Tony Award nominee, poppets! <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/rob-mcclure" target="_blank">Rob McClure</a> got a Best Leading Actor nomination for taking on a role made famous by Robin Williams in 1993. In this kid-friendly musical comedy, he plays Daniel Hillard, an out-of-work actor and divorced dad who disguises himself as&nbsp;Mrs. Doubtfire, a nanny, in order to spend more time with his kids. This Tony-nominated show is a great one for the whole family to enjoy.<h2>Funny Girl</h2>Hello, gorgeous!&nbsp;Funny Girl&nbsp;is back on Broadway for the first time since Barbra Streisand, and Jared Grimes got a Best Featured Actor Tony nomination for playing tip-top tap dancer Eddie Ryan in the revival. But he's not the only greatest star you'll see on the&nbsp;Funny Girl&nbsp;stage: Catch <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/beanie-feldstein" target="_blank">Beanie Feldstein</a> stepping into the shoes of Ziegfeld Follies showgirl Fanny Brice, alongside Ramin Karimloo as her gambling husband, Nick Arnstein, and&nbsp;Glee&nbsp;star Jane Lynch as her mother, Mrs. Rosie Brice.

A total of 29 productions received at least one nod, including pandemic-postponed productions, starry revivals, and new plays and musicals that run the gamut of musical and dramatic styles. <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/news-features/2022-tony-award-nominees-announced-a-strange-loop-leads" target="_blank">Read the full list of 2022 Tony Award nominees</a>, and <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/whats-on/broadway/tony-nominees" target="_blank">get tickets to Tony-nominated shows on New York Theatre Guide.</a>Leading the pack in nominations is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/a-strange-loop" target="_blank">A Strange Loop</a>, Michael R. Jackson's musical that won multiple Off-Broadway awards and a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2020. The show, based on Jackson's process writing that very musical, snagged 11 nominations, including Best Musical, Best Leading Actor in a Musical (for Broadway newcomer Jaquel Spivey), Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score (Music and/or Lyrics) Written for the Theatre."When I first heard Michael R. Jackson's work, I knew I was hearing an exciting and important new voice in American musical theatre. I was taken on a trip that was funny, insightful, wild, and challenging - and I wanted to share this story that I had yet to see on a Broadway stage," said producer Barbara Whitman in response to&nbsp;A Strange Loop's nominations.&nbsp;"I am so grateful to be able to work with the most talented creators, actors, and designers who have come together to tell this game-changing story eight times a week.""This type of stuff doesn't happen for folks like me. Or so I thought. Until today," Spivey said. "I've put the possibility of even a Tony nomination out of my mind because I never believed it was possible for a person like me. I thought I had to be skinny, I thought I had to be masculine, I thought I had to be from a wealthy family, and I thought I had to be 'perfect.' Turns out all I needed to be was Jaquel and that feels good as hell right now.""I was trying to pretend like I wasn't going to watch and something forced me out of bed and in front of the TV," said John-Andrew Morrison, who was nominated for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for A Strange Loop. "I'm in shock but I'm thrilled. I'm thrilled for our show, for all the folks that got nominated. It's been a journey and I'm so very proud of us."On the Featured Actress in a Musical side, L Morgan Lee of&nbsp;A Strange Loop&nbsp;became the first openly transgender performer to receive a Tony Award nomination. "To specifically be a trans actress in the company of these incredible women that I respect and have enjoyed for many years... This nomination is SO much bigger than me," she said. "I hope someone will see this moment and feel like they can go on. No matter what the world, or school, or people tell them they are 'supposed' to be, how they are 'supposed' to sound... that they will keep striving to love and embrace the fullest version of who they are. That they can safely find breath in choosing truth. That they will keep studying and working and dreaming the biggest dreams."Her fellow nominee Shoshana Bean said of her own nomination, "It's still kind of sinking in... but what I do know for certain is I'm in a category with literal giants and for that I am so honored and humbled. I am proud to be part of the season that brought audiences back to the theatre." Bean is featured in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/mr-saturday-night" target="_blank">Mr. Saturday Night</a>, the <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/billy-crystal" target="_blank">Billy Crystal</a>-led musical comedy adaptation of his same-named 1992 film.Crystal himself also received a Best Actor nomination, saying, "I am so grateful for the five nominations Mr. Saturday Night received and for the amazing people who have made our show such a joy to experience."A Strange Loop&nbsp;and&nbsp;Mr. Saturday Night&nbsp;both received Best Musical nominations, alongside&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/paradise-square" target="_blank">Paradise Square</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/mj-the-musical" target="_blank">MJ The Musical</a>, which trail A Strange Loop&nbsp;for most nominations with 10 each. Rounding out the category are&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/girl-from-the-north-country" target="_blank">Girl From the North Country</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/six" target="_blank">Six</a>, which began performances in 2020 just before the pandemic but were considered for Tony eligibility in the 2021-2022 Broadway season.Six's creators, then-college-aged Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, said, "We created Six as a fun summer project for us and our friends in 2017, thinking that, come the autumn, we'd be moving on with our lives and becoming lawyers or accountants or something. So for that show to be nominated for a LITERAL Tony Award is just beyond." The buzzy pop musical about the six wives of Henry VIII snagged many of the same nominations its premiere London production received at the 2019 Olivier Awards, including Best Costume Design (for Gabriella Slade) and Best Choreography (for Carrie-Anne Ingrouille). The show's six-woman ensemble also received an Olivier nomination then, but did not receive a Tony nomination this year.On the flip side, actors from couple of this year's major musicals snagged their show's lone nominations. <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/rob-mcclure" target="_blank">Rob McClure</a> joined Spivey, Crystal, Myles Frost (as Michael Jackson in&nbsp;MJ), and <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/hugh-jackman" target="_blank">Hugh Jackman</a> (as Professor Harold Hill in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/the-music-man" target="_blank">The Music Man</a>) for playing the titular role in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/mrs-doubtfire" target="_blank">Mrs. Doubtfire</a>&nbsp;on Broadway. "I am ecstatic to have my name listed alongside those four brilliant artists for the next month, as we celebrate the resilience of this community. Our show has been through so much. This nomination honors all my remarkable colleagues at the Sondheim [Theatre] who make my performance possible. I love them."Jared Grimes also received the sole nod for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/funny-girl" target="_blank">Funny Girl</a>, the musical's first Broadway revival led by Beanie Feldstein. "I am super excited and grateful to be nominated for my first Tony. Since day one, I've received nothing but love and support from the cast and creatives of Funny Girl and that gives me the joy that I bring to the stage every night," said Grimes, who got a Best Featured Actor nomination. "It's truly a dream come true that I get to honor my idols such as Sammie Davis Jr. and Gregory Hines in the form of Eddie Ryan."On the non-musical side, the Best Play nominees include&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/the-lehman-trilogy" target="_blank">The Lehman Trilogy</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/clydes" target="_blank">Clyde's</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/skeleton-crew" target="_blank">Skeleton Crew</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/the-minutes" target="_blank">The Minutes</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/hangmen" target="_blank">Hangmen</a>. The latter two played a few performances in 2020 but had their official openings this spring, while the others opened in fall 2021."I'm thrilled to be recognized for my work during this historic year on Broadway," said Nottage, the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of&nbsp;Clyde's&nbsp;and the bookwriter for&nbsp;MJ The Musical.&nbsp;"I want to acknowledge my fellow travelers who weathered this difficult moment to bring back theater. I had the joy of working with amazing collaborators, like [Clyde's director] Kate Whoriskey and [MJ director] Christopher Wheeldon, who infused the work with passion, love and joy."&nbsp;It's rare for a single person to be doubly nominated in the same year, but multiple artists did so in 2022. In addition to Jackson getting multiple nods for A Strange Loop&nbsp;and Nottage for Clyde's&nbsp;and MJ, Beowulf Boritt received a nomination each for designing the sets of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/flying-over-sunset" target="_blank">Flying Over Sunset</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/potus-or-behind-every-great-dumbass-are-seven-women-trying-to-keep-him-alive">POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive</a>. Conor McPherson received Best Direction and Best Book nominations for Girl From the North Country, and Christopher Wheeldon received directing and choreography nods for MJ.&nbsp;And&nbsp;for directing and choreographing the first revival of&nbsp;Ntozake Shange's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/for-colored-girls-who-have-considered-suicidewhen-the-rainbow-is-enuf">for&nbsp;colored&nbsp;girls&nbsp;who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf</a>,&nbsp;Camille A. Brown became the first Black female director/choreographer on Broadway in 67 years and got Tony nominations for doing both."After 18 months of dark, empty stages just getting to create the worlds of POTUS and Flying Over Sunset on Broadway was thrilling. Getting to do it with [POTUS director] Susan Stroman and [Flying Over Sunset director] James Lapine was more than my younger self would ever have dared dream of. Getting a pair of Tony nominations for them leaves me speechless," Boritt said."I never thought I would ever get the opportunity to direct on Broadway so to be recognized in this way is beyond what I ever imagined," Brown said. "Special thanks to the producers, cast, creatives, crew, and everyone at the Booth Theatre who made our show come to life. Lifting up Ntozake Shange and grateful for her choreopoem."for colored girls&nbsp;was one of many buzzy play revivals this season. It was joined by shows like Neil Simon's farce&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/plaza-suite" target="_blank">Plaza Suite</a>, which starred Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker and received a single Tony nomination for Best Costume Design; and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/take-me-out" target="_blank">Take Me Out</a>, Richard Greenberg's play about a gay baseball pro that won Best Play in 2003. This year, the show received four nominations, for Best Play Revival and Best Featured Actor for stars Jesse Williams, Michael Oberholtzer, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/jesse-tyler-ferguson" target="_blank">Jesse Tyler Ferguson</a>. (Ferguson plays Mason Marzac, the role that originally won Denis O'Hare the Best Featured Actor Tony.)"What a ride! I am truly thrilled for our entire Take Me Out company and so damn grateful to the theatre community for this welcome and opportunity to grow," Williams said. Oberholtzer added, "This is a day I will never forget. To be a working actor is a blessing in of itself; to have the opportunity to do a Richard Greenberg play on Broadway is grace; to be nominated for a Tony for my performance is worth a lifetime of gratitude."Another talked-about play revival is Paula Vogel's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/how-i-learned-to-drive" target="_blank">How I Learned to Drive</a>, which just made its Broadway debut 25 years after its world premiere Off-Broadway. The production reunited its original director, Mark Brokaw, and original stars, two-time Tony winner <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/mary-louise-parker" target="_blank">Mary-Louise Parker</a> and <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/david-morse" target="_blank">David Morse</a>, both of whom got Best Leading Actor and Actress in a Play nominations, respectively. Though 2022 marked Drive's first Broadway production, the show — along with Alice Childress's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/trouble-in-mind" target="_blank">Trouble in Mind</a>, starring Best Leading Actress in a Play nominee <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/actor-profile/lachanze" target="_blank">LaChanze</a> — was considered in the Best Play Revival category."I am so honored to be nominated alongside my peers in this category," Vogel said. "And so thrilled to walk the red carpet with Mary-Louise Parker and David Morse who take my breath away every performance. My thanks to the entire cast and Mark Brokaw.""To be part of this play appearing on Broadway after decades of effort is an actual dream come true. There's no higher honor than to perform Paula Vogel's miraculous play alongside David Morse and Johanna Day and Alyssa May Gold and Chris Myers. The gift of participating in this first season back defies description, and I'm endlessly grateful to the audiences who come to any show, and bring life back into these houses that have been dark for so long, with so many out of work and struggling," Parker said. "If I wasn't saving my voice I'd open a window and scream my thanks to the heavens."Vogel and her company weren't the only ones who spent years anticipating their Broadway bows. Said Lowell Ganz, who&nbsp;was nominated for Best Book of a Musical alongside his&nbsp;Mr. Saturday Night&nbsp;co-writers Crystal and Babaloo Mandel:&nbsp;"It took me 50 years to get to Broadway. Worth every second."<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/news-features/tony-awards-guide-how-to-watch-nominees-and-more" target="_blank">The 2022 Tony Awards will be broadcast live on CBS on June 12.

Their name is Lancelot! Taran Killam and Alex Brightman join the cast of the upcoming [*Spamalot*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/33129-spamalot-tickets) Broadway revival, playing at the [St. James Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/st-james-theatre) from October 31. Opening night is November 16.

Killam returns to Broadway after playing King George III in [*Hamilton*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/384-hamilton-tickets) in 2017. He is better known, however, for his onscreen comedy performances on *madTV* and *Saturday Night Live*, in addition to multiple sitcoms. He will play Lancelot through January 7 only.

Brightman will step into the role from January 9. He is currently starring as Richard Dreyfuss in [*The Shark Is Broken*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/28737-the-shark-is-broken-tickets) on Broadway, and he is also known for leading the Broadway musical adaptations of *Beetlejuice* and *School of Rock*. Brightman also played Lancelot at the Kennedy Center, where this *Spamalot* revival production premiered earlier this year under director/choreographer Josh Rhodes.

As [previously announced](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/spamalot-sets-broadway-cast-and-creative-team), multiple other cast members from that production will also return for the Broadway transfer: Christopher Fitzgerald as Patsy, James Monroe Iglehart as King Arthur, Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer as The Lady of the Lake, Jimmy Smagula as Sir Bedevere, Michael Urie as Sir Robin, and Nik Walker as Sir Galahad. Ethan Slater also stars as The Historian/Prince Herbert.

*Spamalot* is the seven-time Tony Award-winning musical adaptation of *Monty Python and the Holy Grail*, written by John Du Prez and founding Monty Python member Eric Idle. The show is an irreverent sendup of Arthurian legends.

Brown and a Tony Award-winning score by Charlie Smalls and others, including Luther Vandross.

Wayne Brady will star in the latest revival of the seven-time Tony Award-winning musical, which just launched a national tour prior to its New York opening.

The career paths of Josh Gad and [Andrew Rannells](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/andrew-rannells) happily keep on colliding – and paralleling. Right now, they’re at the [James Earl Jones Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/james-earl-jones-theatre) in [*Gutenberg! The Musical!*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/31399-gutenberg-the-musical-tickets), a show with two actors and just as many exclamation points. The comic duo play musical theatre composers writing a show about the inventor of the printing press.

Out there? Sure. Then again, the story of misbegotten Mormon missionaries in Uganda is also wacky. That’s what the long-running, Tony Award-winning musical [*The Book of Mormon*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/127-the-book-of-mormon-tickets), in which Gad and Rannells first performed together, is about.

Even when they haven’t shared a stage, their theatre careers have overlapped in various ways. Find out more about the duo’s careers in our timeline below.

## 2005 and 2006: Broadway debuts

In January 2005, Rannells took over as high school student Fender in *Hairspray*. Like a ’60s beehive hairdo, the actor ascended high to the lead role of teenage heartthrob Link Larkin. Rannells has stepped into key roles in other Broadway shows including Bob Gaudio in *Jersey Boys*, the title role in *Hedwig and the Angry Inch*, and King George in [*Hamilton*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/384-hamilton-tickets). 

A year later, in January 2006, the musical *The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee* introduced Gad to Broadway audiences. He took over the role of allergy-prone William Barfee, a kid who uses his “magic foot” to write out words before spelling them.

## 2011: *The Book of Mormon*

In 2011, Rannells and Gad landed the lead roles in the irreverent, sometimes profane musical by Robert Lopez (*Frozen, Avenue Q*) and *South Park* creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Rannells and Gad starred as Elders Price and Cunningham: Mormon missionaries in Uganda who are young, eager, in over their head, and making things up as they go along. Both got Best Actor Tony nominations for the still-running hit at the [Eugene O’Neill Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/eugene-o-neill-theatre).

## 2006 and 2016: The William Finn connection

Gad belted the kicky tune “Magic Foot” by William Finn in his Broadway debut in *The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee*. Rannells earned his second Tony nomination – Best Actor in a Supporting Role, as the ailing Whizzer – in the 2016 revival of *Falsettos*, a show with music, lyrics, and a book by Finn.

## 2013 and 2016: The Disney connection

Beyond the stage, Disney is common ground for the pair. For episodes of the animated TV series *Sofia the First*, Rannells voiced Morris, a goblin. Meanwhile, Gad voiced Olaf, the fan-fave snowman in the *Frozen* film franchise.

## 2023: *Gutenberg! The Musical!*

As Bud and Doug in this musical by Scott Brown and Anthony King, the actors wear a lot of hats – and that’s not a metaphor. They play the authors of a show about Johannes Gutenberg, which they pitch to potential investors with the means to finance the project. They act out the show playing characters whose names are on baseball caps.

See how it all goes down through January 28 only. Who knows when Rannells and Gad will share the stage next?

### *Sweeney Todd*

*Sweeney Todd* serves up both tricks and treats, though perhaps not the kind you'll want to eat. This bloody entertaining Stephen Sondheim thriller follows the title "demon barber," whose vengeful plot to murder a corrupt judge grows into a desire to kill just about everyone in London. And with the help of pie shop owner Mrs. Lovett, the evidence mysteriously disappears into the tastiest baked goods she's ever made. [Josh Groban](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/josh-groban) and [Annaleigh Ashford](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/annaleigh-ashford)'s sinister performances might give you nightmares, but their vocals are the stuff of dreams.

### *Wicked*

The iconic witch hat and broom are the centerpieces of many a Halloween costume. Ever wonder why? This musical provides one origin story and more, offering an alternate take on who Glinda and Elphaba were before they became the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of the West in *The Wizard of Oz*. This show isn't scary, but it's filled with bewitching stage magic and supernatural characters.

## Harvest fall

This itinerary is for those who like to spend their fall days leaf-peeping, apple-picking, and pumpkin patch-hopping. Even if you can't make it to New England or upstate for the foliage and the farms, these shows and events provide all the harvest vibes you're looking for.

### *Shucked*

Fans of corn mazes will feel right at home in Cob County, the central location of this corny (literally) musical. When the town's prized corn crop starts dying, farmgirl Maizy finds an outsider to help, but all isn't at it seems. This show, by Tony-winning bookwriter Robert Horn and Grammy-winning songwriters Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally, delivers a cornucopia of country-infused tunes and nonstop corn puns.

### *Little Shop of Horrors*

The monstrous, Venus flytrap-esque plant in this musical is one you might not want to harvest. Flower shop worker Seymour finds this out the hard way, as the plant promises him fame and fortune in exchange for human flesh and blood. Straddling the line between horror, comedy, and botany, this cult-classic favorite is the perfect autumn watch.

### Fall-O-Ween at the New York Botanical Garden

What better place to spend a harvest-themed fall day than at the New York Botanical Garden, where you're surrounded by flora and fauna? A natural oasis in the middle of the Bronx, it'll make you feel like you've escaped the city. Participate in pumpkin carving and costume contests, sample treats featuring classic fall flavors, and take part in activities both festive and frightful, all while exploring the grounds' 50 gardens featuring over a million wildlife species.

## Cozy, romantic fall

If you spend your fall pretending you're the protagonist of a Nora Ephron rom-com — cozying up with a good book and a soft sweater, perhaps by the fireplace with your boo — then these idyllic, romantic experiences are perfect for you.

![cottage review-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/7IpSiOpEcmTSOTm8NqA54F/809e3f7439b96c9377519ec2db23a880/cottage_review-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

### *The Cottage*

*The Cottage* delivers cozy romance with a twist. The play opens with a couple having a romantic morning in a beautiful country cottage — but we soon learn they're both cheating on their spouses, who are in turn cheating on them. Confusion, hilarity, and a tangled web of relationships arise. This farce may not be your average romance, but it's an endlessly entertaining one.

### *& Juliet*

Juliet, of *Romeo & Juliet*, finds love in the big city in this new musical — except the big city is Paris, and she spends just as much time finding herself after Romeo dies. This twist on the classic play is as empowering as it is romantic, and it also features another love story: that of William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway, who rekindle their own flame by co-writing Juliet's new story together.

Merrily We Roll Along on Broadway - NYC

Merrily We Roll Along on Broadway

The first Broadway revival of the Stephen Sondheim musical, playing at the Hudson Theatre, stars Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe, and Lindsay Mendez.

"There are so many wonderful plays and musicals opening this fall," said Sierra Boggess of the new musical [*Harmony*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/24995-harmony-tickets). "Theatregoers are in for such a fabulous season!"

We couldn't have said it better ourselves. *Harmony*, the Barry Manilow and Bruce Sussman-composed musical about a famous 1920s choral group, is just one of the many exciting new productions on Broadway this fall. But rather than us just telling you about them, we asked the stars of this season's Broadway shows which fall Broadway shows they're looking forward to and why.

From starry revivals to groundbreaking new plays to musicals led by a group of fresh talents, this fall season has it all.

## For the reunion we've all been waiting for: *Gutenberg! The Musical*

Alli Mauzey, of 2023 Best Musical Tony Award winner *Kimberly Akimbo*, "couldn’t tell you what [*Gutenberg! The Musical*] is about," but that [Andrew Rannells](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/andrew-rannells) and Josh Gad on stage together again thrills her enough to go.

That's high praise for the comedy skills of the pair, last seen together in the original 2011 cast of [*The Book of Mormon*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/127-the-book-of-mormon-tickets). And for those wondering, they now play hapless composers trying to pitch an inaccurate Broadway musical about Johannes Gutenberg, inventor of the printing press.

Mauzey's not alone in her excitement. "Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells are hilarious together," echoed *How to Dance in Ohio*'s Desmond Edwards. Added Jasmine Forsberg of *Here Lies Love*, "I had the pleasure of watching a studio run of the show, and my abs were sore from the constant laughter. Josh and Andrew are a comedic goldmine."

## For the reunions you didn't know you needed: *I Need That*

This new comedy about a reclusive hoarder cleaning up his life sees the reunion of a celebrated creative duo. Pulitzer-nominated writer Theresa Rebeck and Tony-nominated director Moritz Von Stuelpnagel join forces once more following 2018's *Bernhardt/Hamlet*. 

“I love Theresa Rebeck’s writing, and her and Moritz Von Stuelpnagel seem to have a great time working together, said Reg Rogers of *Merrily We Roll Along*.

But that's not the only exciting duo you need to see. On stage, [Danny DeVito](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/danny-devito) stars as the hoarder Sam alongside his real-life daughter, Lucy DeVito.

## For something old that feels new: *Purlie Victorious*

*Purlie Victorious* premiered on Broadway in 1961, starring playwright Ossie Davis and his wife, Ruby Dee, as a preacher and his aide in a scheme to reclaim his inheritance from an oppressive white landowner. But it hasn't been on Broadway since, so this revival — led by Tony winner Leslie Odom, Jr. and Tony nominee Kara Young — is all but new for many audiences today. “With so many heavy hitters, it is a must-see for me,” said [*Hadestown*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/14748-hadestown-tickets)'s Brit West.

"They are making history with this first ever revival of this play, and I cannot wait to see it!" said Sierra Boggess of *Harmony*. Echoed her co-star Chip Zien, "A great cast lead by the thrilling Leslie Odom, Jr. marking his return to Broadway. With the great [director] Kenny Leon at the helm, this is a 'comedy' that couldn't be timelier and a theatrical event not to be missed."

Lakisha May of *Jaja's African Hair Braiding* has plenty of love for this show already. “I saw a production at Spelman College when I was a student there," she said. "Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee are definitely inspirations — their love, their work, their talent, and their activism. And I can’t wait to see this Broadway cast play!”

## For a blast from the past: *Back to the Future* and *Merrily We Roll Along*

Two shows on Broadway are taking audiences back in time this fall. The stage adaptation of *Back to the Future*, which opened in August, zips to 1985 and 1955 at 88 miles per hour. According to *Wicked*'s William Youmans, the man who makes it all happen — scientist Doc Brown, played by Roger Bart — is reason enough to go: "Roger Bart is one of the funniest actors alive."

A few blocks away, the first Broadway revival of *Merrily We Roll Along* tells the story of a crumbling 20-year friendship in reverse. Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe, and Lindsay Mendez play the doomed trio of pals Frank, Charley, and Mary.

"I have a special affection for *Merrily We Roll Along*," said Amelia Cormack of *Hadestown*. "It was our last show at drama school, and I got to play Mary, so it’s a definite nostalgia moment. Plus, this cast is incredible.”

## For an unexpected wave of emotion: *The Shark Is Broken*

This *Jaws*-inspired play, on through November 16, delivers great-white-sized laughs as it dramatizes the famous feud between Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider on set. What struck *Back to the Future* star Hugh Coles, though, was how moving it is: [Ian Shaw](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/interviews/ian-shaw-sinks-his-teeth-into-his-fathers-legacy-in-the-shark-is-broken) co-wrote and stars in *The Shark Is Broken* in his father's memory.

"I had the privilege of watching *The Shark is Broken* in London," Coles said. "You’d think the best speech in the show would be about the U.S.S. Indianapolis — but there’s a beautifully written, moving and powerfully delivered monologue about Shaw’s father that blows it out of the water (pun intended)."

## For a niche story with universal appeal: *Jaja’s African Hair Braiding*

Jocelyn Bioh is known for her lighthearted, widely appealing comedies that shed light on the experiences of Black women in Africa and America. Her latest work, *Jaja’s African Hair Braiding*, tells a story of love, community, and gentrification by way of a group of women in the title Harlem salon.

"Jocelyn has an incredible gift of comedy (which we saw in *School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play*) that truly is necessary in this moment in time," said Leandra Ellis-Gaston of [*Six*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/20737-six-musical-tickets). "On top of that, this show speaks about a very niche and special experience that Black women, particularly in New York, have of getting our hair braided. We talk about representation in regards to seeing our Black bodies on stage, but it’s taking it a step forward to see and share our routine experiences on a Broadway stage."

## For a full house of comedic talent: *The Cottage*

*Will & Grace*'s Eric McCormack, *Legally Blonde: The Musical*'s Laura Bell Bundy, *Saturday Night Live*'s Alex Moffat, *Tootsie*'s Lilli Cooper, and more all under one roof? You'll have to see this old-fashioned farce, about a web of infidelities unraveling, to believe it.

“I’m a fan of every actor in this cast — it’s a full roster of amazing comedians, all of whom I have admired for a long time," said Katie Rose Clarke of *Merrily We Roll Along*. "I also love that it’s an ensemble play. It’s right up my alley. It seems like they’ve created something really fun and special.”

## For an immersive theatre experience: *Here Lies Love*

Immersive theatre — in which the audience participates in the show, which unfolds all around them — is rare on Broadway. But *Here Lies Love* turned the [Broadway Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/broadway-theatre) into a disco nightclub to tell the story of infamous dictator (and disco enthusiast) Imelda Marcos of the Philippines. An [all-Filipino cast](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/meet-the-all-filipino-here-lies-love-broadway-cast) stars. 

"I love the idea of fully immersing the audience into the show," said Jake Pedersen of [*Wicked*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/1-wicked-musical-tickets). "The whole company is stacked with incredible storytellers fueled by a powerful plot. A must-see for sure!"

## For a royally good laugh: *Spamalot*

This musical based on *Monty Python and the Holy Grail* hasn't held court on Broadway since winning the Best Musical Tony Award in 2005. Broadway stars with fond memories of the movie, the Broadway premiere, or their former co-stars now headlining the revival are now planning to take their seats at the round table.

“I am most excited to see my dear, dear friends (and former co-workers at *Hamilton*), James Monroe Iglehart and Nik Walker, in *Spamalot*," said *Merrily We Roll Along*'s Krystal Joy Brown. "I cannot wait to get to enjoy them in all of their hilarious glory! Also, I grew up on *Monty Python*, so it’s a bit nostalgic, and who doesn’t want a good laugh and a good time at the theatre?”

Julie Benko, of *Harmony* added: "I remember bringing my sister to the original production back when I was in high school, and now, I can't wait to bring my husband. I suspect he's going to laugh so hard he pees himself and will then spend the following six months demanding shrubberies around the house."

## For the next generation of Broadway: *How to Dance in Ohio*

This new musical, based on the Peabody Award-winning documentary about autistic young adults coming of age, is bringing many new faces to the world of Broadway. Director Sammi Cannold, writers Rebekah Greer Melocik and Jacob Yandura, choreographer Mayte Natalio, and all seven autistic lead actors make their debuts with this show.

“I'm excited to see a brand-new musical on Broadway, and I look forward to seeing how the team has adapted this beautiful story about human connection from the documentary to a musical," said Liana Hunt of *Back to the Future*. "I've heard bits of the music, and it sounds really beautiful. I also love that so many members of this show are making their Broadway debuts! There's something really special about that.”

## For a timely, touching drama: *Prayer for the French Republic*

Joshua Harmon's epic drama, about multiple generations of a French Jewish family facing similar doubts about assimilation and safety, received near-universal acclaim for its 2021 Off-Broadway premiere. It's perhaps more poignant and relevant now, as the show prepares to begin Broadway performances in December.

"I saw it in its Off-Broadway run and was blown away by the writing, direction, the performances - everything," Benko said. "It's a complex look at contemporary Jewish life and we need those plays on Broadway now more than ever."

## For Off-Broadway fun with bite: *Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors*

Off-Broadway theatres have a wealth of new fall shows, too, if you're looking for even more theatre to see beyond the Great White Way. One of them is *Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors*, a queer, comedic revamp of Bram Stoker's Gothic horror classic. 

"Arnie Burton is a stage comedy genius," *Purlie Victorious*'s Bill Timoney said of why he wants to see it. Burton is joined by four other actors who shapeshift between costumes and characters faster than a vampire turns into a bat.

Melissa Etheridge: My Window on Broadway - NYC

Melissa Etheridge: My Window on Broadway

The Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter's theatrical solo concert is playing on Broadway for two months only at the Circle in the Square Theatre.

Wait for it. Ever since Leslie Odom, Jr. wrapped his award-winning and career-boosting star turn in [*Hamilton*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/384-hamilton-tickets) in 2016, we’ve been cooling our heels in anticipation of his Broadway return. 

Seven years later, he’s back – and not in a musical. Odom shoulders the title role in the first Broadway revival of Ossie Davis’s 1961 play, [*Purlie Victorious: A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/27642-purlie-victorious-tickets). Odom plays a traveling preacher on a mission in smalltown Georgia.

Odom has been busy while he’s been off stage. He stars opposite Ellen Burstein in horror sequel *The Exorcist: Believer*, opening October 3. Last year, he was part of the starry ensemble of the thriller *Glass Onion*. But his roots as a theatre star remain strong.

Now that Odom's back on Broadway, take a romp through his notable theatre and stage-adjacent roles.

## *Rent*

Seasons of love can bring Broadway firsts. In 1998, at 17 years old, Odom made his debut as a replacement in Jonathan Larson’s Pulitzer-winning rock musical. He covered multiple roles, including a cop and Paul, who shines in “Life Support,” a reminder that there’s “no day but today.”

![smash leslie-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/cAmDh5XJpxHxpMSbF5JCx/c27b164f5b907d2c21fa87038f95daf6/smash_leslie-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## *Smash*

As if a theatre fan needs a recap: The 2012 NBC series covered the ups, downs, and sideways of creating a Marilyn Monroe musical. Odom played Sam, an ensemble member who is friends with Ivy ([Megan Hilty](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/megan-hilty-jennifer-simard-to-lead-death-becomes-her-musical-in-chicago), a contender for the star part), and dates the composer, Tom ([Christian Borle](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/christian-borle), now in [*Some Like It Hot*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/24262-some-like-it-hot-tickets)).

## *Leap of Faith*

Based on the 1992 Steve Martin movie, the 2012 Broadway musical adaptation starred Raúl Esparza as a con man faking it as a holy roller. Odom, reprising his role from a 2010 Los Angeles run, played the upright Isaiah Sturdevant. The show’s reviews were mixed, but one critic called out Odom as “fantastic.”

![venice leslie-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/26LLKbUX32mukU1KQOuYm7/254b8f44b16f5d044680b376b8989eb5/venice_leslie-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## *Venice*

Based loosely on the Shakespeare classic *Othello*, the hip-hop-flavored musical by Matt Sax and Eric Rosen is set in a war-torn, not-so-distant future, where broken ties between two brothers parallel the relationship between Othello and Iago. Odom played Markos, a warmongering commander. The Public Theater presentation ran in 2013.

![tick tick boom leslie-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/RdVqRWMv60Lo1O13ImihJ/75db4beba495a4c66cf55a59f8a79844/tick_tick_boom_leslie-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## *Tick, Tick… Boom!*

In 2014, Odom starred alongside Lin-Minuel Miranda and [Karen Olivo](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/karen-olivo) in *Rent* creator Jonathan Larson’s autobiographical musical about a struggling songwriter, Jon, who’s questioning his future. In the weeklong run with the Encores! Off-Center series of rarely revived musicals, Odom played the artist’s best friend.

![hamilton leslie-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/48lv8PPFBMbyYXlL4XYopo/d5492fcc6972f7f807ac5b49d34b3a32/hamilton_leslie-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## *Hamilton*

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s 2015 landmark musical about Alexander Hamilton cast a brilliant spotlight on Odom, who confidently stepped into it and slayed as Aaron Burr, “the damn fool that shot” and killed the “$10 Founding Father.” He won a Tony and a Grammy and left indelible musical marks with “Wait for It,” “The Room Where It Happens,” and “Dear Theodosia.”

## *One Night in Miami...*

Odom earned an Oscar nomination for his portrait of Sam Cooke in this 2020 film directed by Regina King. Author Kemp Powers based the movie script on his 2013 play of the same name that imagines what went down at an actual February 1964 meeting of four African American icons: Cooke, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, and Jim Brown. Odom’s role included performing “A Change Is Gonna Come,” a song that would emerge as a civil rights anthem.

![purlie leslie-1200x600-NYTG](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/22qYF2FHxPg19uY9bIKBeH/39d9abda6097adbd76fba92fe5b7b990/purlie_leslie-1200x600-NYTG.jpg)

## *Purlie Victorious: A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch*

It’s been more than six decades since the play’s Broadway debut, and the repressive attitudes it targets makes it seem evergreen. Odom plays Purlie, who returns to his hometown in the south with hopes of integrating a church. It won’t be easy. Expect the fanged comedy to sink its teeth into enduring stereotypes — and Odom to take us all to church as only he can.

Purlie Victorious on Broadway - NYC

Purlie Victorious on Broadway

The Tony and Grammy Award-winning *Hamilton* star has a long career on and off Broadway, and he now returns to the stage to lead *Purlie Victorious*.

A new revival of *Uncle Vanya* will premiere on Broadway this spring, in a new translation by Heidi Schreck. Lila Neugebauer will direct the Lincoln Center Theater production, which begins performances at the [Vivian Beaumont Theater](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/vivian-beaumont-theater) on April 2 ahead of an April 24 opening.

The classic play by Anton Chekhov follows the title character and his niece, whose lives are upended when Sonya's father and his wife move in. Past resentments, troubled romances, and family tensions erupt on a once-calm family farm.

*Uncle Vanya*, which premiered in 1899 and has received 10 prior Broadway productions, remains one of Chekhov's best-known and most beloved works. This new version is by Heidi Schreck, best known for her Pulitzer- and Tony-nominated work *What the Constitution Means to Me*.

Director Lila Neugebauer has two productions on Broadway this season: before *Uncle Vanya*, she directs Brandon Jacobs-Jenkins's [*Appropriate*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/31352-appropriate-tickets), starring [Sarah Paulson](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/sarah-paulson), in the fall season. She is also known for directing *The Waverly Gallery* on Broadway, *The Wolves* off Broadway, and the film *Causeway* starring Jennifer Lawrence.

The *Uncle Vanya* creative team also includes set designer Mimi Lien, costume designer Kaye Voyce, lighting designer Lap Chi Chu, and sound designers Mikhail Fiksel and Beth Lake.

Casting has yet to be announced.
