Bug has crawled onto Broadway, and we've got the first-look photos! Emmy Award nominee Carrie Coon (The White Lotus, The Gilded Age) and Namir Smallwood lead Tracy Letts's creepy-crawly drama at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre through February 8 only.
Now making its long-awaited Broadway debut, this 1996 psychological thriller follows the dark, twisted romance of Agnes, a cocktail waitress hiding out from her abusive ex in a motel, and Peter, a Gulf War veteran convinced he's the subject of buggy government experiments. As the two lonely souls connect, Peter pulls Agnes deeper into his web of delusion and conspiracy.
This production, presented by Manhattan Theatre Club, reunites the acclaimed cast from director David Cromer's 2020 Chicago production, also featuring Randall Arney as Dr. Sweet, Jennifer Engstrom as R.C., and Steve Key as Jerry Goss. See photos of them on stage below, and get tickets below.
