Roundabout's Significant Other will transfer to Broadway

Following the successful off-Broadway engagement of the Roundabout Theatre Company's world premiere production of Joshua Harmon's Significant Other, directed by Trip Cullman, which ran at the Laura Pels Theatre from 21 May to 16 August 2015, the play will transfer to Broadway next Spring. This marks only the second time a new play by Roundabout has transferred to the Great White Way. The first time was by Stephen Karem's Tony-winning Best Play The Humans.

Previews are expected to begin at a yet-to-be-named Shubert Theatre in February 2017, with an official opening scheduled for March 2017.

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

Producers intend to re-unite the off-Broadway cast and creative team, which includes Gideon Glick, Barbara Barrie and Lindsay Mendez, along with director Trip Cullman, choreographer Sam Pinkleton, set design by Mark Wendland, costume design by Kaye Voyce, lighting design by Japhy Weideman, and sound design by Daniel Kluger.

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