Jean Smart is one of today's most decorated actresses. She's known for her tough-as-nails characters, especially in TV comedies, and in this new play she brings a similar tenacity and dark sense of humor that audiences have known her to cultivate over her decades-long career. 

In Jamie Wax's startling new play, he transports audiences to a small town in rural America. It's the kind of place where if you stay long enough, you've seen it all, but also itch to get out. Smart is Izzy, a down-on-her-luck woman who needs a way out. Her writing may be that: but while it is her greatest gift, it is also her biggest secret and darkest curse. A can’t-miss theatrical event and a moving portrait of one woman’s refusal to be silenced through her own sheer resilience, humor, and fiery imagination, *Call Me Izzy* is a spellbinding show and offers a tour-de-force for Smart. 

## What to watch for
- Jean Smart has performed in multiple Broadway shows, off Broadway at Playwrights Horizons, and in the seminal lesbian play *Last Summer at Bluefish Cove*.
- Smart is more famously known for her TV work: she rose to prominence as Charlene Frazier Stillfield on the sitcom *Designing Women* and has earned six Primetime Emmy Awards for her roles on *Frasier, Samantha Who?*, and *Hacks*.
- Jamie Wax is a newscaster and makes his Broadway debut with this play.
- Sarna Lapine is best known for directing the Broadway revival of *Sunday in the Park with George*, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Annaleigh Ashford.

Call Me Izzy on Broadway - NYC - Todaytix

In this new play, Jean Smart plays Izzy, a tragic woman whose gift of writing is her greatest gift, biggest secret, and ticket out of her destitute life.

See the incomparable Jean Smart back on Broadway. *Call Me Izzy* plays for a limited run this spring and summer, for just 12 weeks at the acclaimed theatre Studio 54. Smart, a Broadway vet and Tony Award nominee for her role in *The Man who Came to Dinner*, opposite Nathan Lane, returns to the New York stage in this jolting new play from Jamie Wax. Wax makes his Broadway debut with this fierce new play, directed by Sarna Lapine, who staged the starry revival of *Sunday in the Park with George* with Jake Gyllenhaal and Annaleigh Ashford.

Take a trip down to small town Louisiana when you experience *Call Me Izzy* on Broadway: in Wax's premiere, Izzy lives in rural America and is looking to write her way out. However, her writing is her biggest secret, greatest gift, and darkest curse. The play offers Smart a singular vehicle and audiences a can’t-miss theatrical event. A moving portrait of one woman’s refusal to be silenced, *Call Me Izzy* shows a character whose sheer tenacity, humor, and fiery imagination will get her to a new stage of life, one way or another, no matter the consequences.

Smart is one of TV's most iconic actresses, winning six Primetime Emmy Awards over her decades-spanning career that includes multiple hit shows — dramas and comedies — that include *Designing Women, Hacks, Mare of Easttown, Frasier, Samantha Who?, Kim Possible*, and many others. 

Now, she returns to Broadway in this riveting and revealing portrait of a woman desperate for new life. How far will she go to take hold of her life, even if it means sharing her deepest secrets?

The **Studio 54 theatre** in New York is legendary in its status as America's most famous nightclub from history. In the '70s, the venue was a beacon for A-list celebrities, artists, and musicians to gather under its mesmerising disco ball. Today, as part of the Roundabout Theatre Company, **Studio 54** is a home to captivating theatrical performances. The theatre, located on 254 W 54th Street, maintains its historical charm with the restored auditorium that evokes an intense feel for the remarkable history it's borne witness to. The theatre has a seating capacity of 1006 and has been the stage for numerous notable productions such as 'Cabaret', 'Sunday in the Park with George', and 'Kiss Me, Kate'. The elegance from its original 1927 construction blends seamlessly with its more modern renovations, helping keep Studio 54 an iconic and desired destination in the Big Apple. 

 **How to get to the venue** 

 Getting to Studio 54 is quite straightforward. Located in Manhattan, it's easily accessible by subway. The closest station is 7 Avenue, which is just a short two-minute walk from the theatre. For those preferring a taxi ride or self-drive, there are several parking garages nearby like the 'Icon Parking' on 851 8th Ave or the 'SP+' on 1700 Broadway.

Studio 54

The Studio 54 first opened in 1927 as the Gallo Opera House, and it operated as a music hall, broadcast soundstage, and nightclub (under the name Casino de Paree) until entrepreneurs Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager bought the building.

Under their ownership, the Studio 54 nightclub opened in 1977 and quickly became one of the world's most famous clubs, with frequent celebrity guests. The venue also operated under the name of The Ritz from 1989 until early 1993, and then as Cabaret Royale until 1995.

Roundabout Theatre Company's production of *Cabaret* played at Studio 54 in 1998 after the collapse of a construction hoist blocked access to the Henry Miller (now Stephen Sondheim) Theatre. In 2003, Roundabout purchased the building, and the company still hosts Broadway productions there and rents the venue out to other producers.
