Working with his longtime collaborator Grant Heslov, George Clooney adapts the 2005 film the two co-wrote that earned them an Academy Award nomination. Now, his performance and playwriting credit marks Clooney’s Broadway debut, which particularly excites the Hollywood A-lister. “I am honored, after all these years, to be coming back to the stage and especially, to Broadway, the art form and the venue that every actor aspires to," he said in a statement. 

He will work alongside another starry name: David Cromer, who has multiple Broadway shows under his belt plus Tony and Obie awards. A MacArthur Fellow, Cromer said of Clooney's role in a statement that “Edward R. Murrow operated from a kind of moral clarity that feels vanishingly rare in today’s media landscape. There was an immediacy in those early live television broadcasts that today can only be effectively captured on stage, in front of a live audience.”

## What to watch for

- Today, media companies are merging or dying off, leading to a more expensive, competitive, and corroding journalistic landscape. This story, then, feels prescient in what it addresses.
Joseph McCarthy has been portrayed in many works; recently, Chris Bauer played him opposite Tony winner Will Brill (*[Stereophonic](https://www.todaytix.com/nyc/shows/29539-stereophonic)*) on the TV series *Fellow Travelers*. 
- A highly decorated actor, George Clooney is a four-time Golden Globe Award winner, a two-time Academy Award winner and a 2022 Kennedy Center Honoree.
- Clooney’s wife, Amal Clooney, is a dedicated human rights lawyer whose work dovetails with themes in the play — she often advocates for wronged journalists and represents media clients.

This new play, starring Emmy winner Sarah Snook, is a contemporary take on Oscar Wilde’s classic about our intoxication with youth and appearances — and the depths we’ll descend to preserve them. A theatrical feat, Snook plays 26 characters in a production blending performance and video.

Get *The Picture of Dorian Gray* tickets and see Emmy and Golden Globe award winner Sarah Snook (Shiv on *Succession*) make her Broadway debut. Playing 26 roles in one show, Snook reprises her Olivier Award-winning turn at the Music Box Theatre this spring. *The Picture of Dorian Gray* plays for a limited run only and promises a thrilling ride in a timely tale about vanity, greed, and the price of eternal glory.

How far would you go to experience eternal youth and glory? Experience *The Picture of Dorian Gray* on Broadway to find out. In this mesmerizing and highly theatrical experience, Snook plays over two dozen roles to tell Oscar Wilde’s classic story, brilliantly adapted for the stage in Kip Williams’ production.

The story revolves around a portrait of a handsome man, Dorian Gray, in his youth. Dorian soon meets Lord Henry Wotton, jumpstarting the lord’s obsession with Dorian, and, in return, Dorian’s obsession with the lord’s hedonistic world view. 

Snook plays each character, and “between countless wig and costume changes, she never leaves the stage and the cameras never leave her face for the entire two-hour runtime. The physical stamina alone is impressive and staggering, notwithstanding the precision camera-work, theatricality, and 26 different parts to play,” London Theatre wrote. “Snook is an absolute marvel.”

Moving from Sydney Theatre Company to the West End and now to Broadway, the play comes riding on a wave of extraordinary reviews. Updating the story, this production relies on multiple whizzing cameras, all circling Snook, to show our obsession with the self, a notion that today is only aided by an over-reliance on technology and social media.

Based on the Academy Award-winning movie by Billy Wilder, the *Sunset Boulevard* musical features songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber with a book and lyrics by Don Black and Christopher Hampton.

The show revolves around Norma Desmond, a faded star of the silent screen era, living in the past in her decaying mansion on the fabled Los Angeles street of the title. When young and promising screenwriter Joe Gillis crosses her path, she sees in this up-and-coming writer an opportunity to make her return to the big screen, with romance and tragedy to follow.

Nicole Scherzinger, the original lead singer of the pop group The Pussycat Dolls, takes on this legendary role in her Broadway debut following her acclaimed West End bow, and her London co-stars reprise their roles for *Sunset Boulevard* in New York: Tom Francis as Joe Gillis, Grace Hodgett Young as Betty Schaefer, and David Thaxton as Max Von Mayerling. 

## What to watch for

- Nicole Scherzinger joins a long line of Broadway stars who have played fading diva Norma Desmond. Tony Award winner Patti LuPone and Academy Award nominee Glenn Close have both played her on Broadway and in London's West End. Other stage stars, including Stephanie J. Block and Kathryn Evans, have taken on the role in other productions.
- Critics raved about the London production. Time Out London’s critic wrote that *Sunset Boulevard*’s “mind-blowing video and a truly singular use of pop star Nicole Scherzinger power Jamie Lloyd’s triumphantly out-there take on the Andrew Lloyd Webber classic.” Additionally, Variety said that “not for one second is there any doubt that Scherzinger has a dominating presence and magnificent money notes.”
- You have likely heard some of the songs before. *Sunset Boulevard* includes the standards “As If We Never Said Goodbye,” “With One Look,” and the title song naming the Los Angeles area where this show is set, “Sunset Boulevard.”
- This production lacks traditional Broadway razzle-dazzle — and it works. Lots of Broadway shows boast stunning spectacle, from flying witches to life-size animal puppets. Here, Jamie Lloyd makes bold use of video and color, and little else but the powerful actors, to tell this reimagined story.

Haunted by her memories and dreams, movie star Norma Desmond (Scherzinger) is far from the top and longs to return to the big screen. A struggling screenwriter who can’t sell his scripts to the Hollywood studios may be her only hope until their dangerous and compelling relationship leads to disastrous circumstances. Drenched in champagne and cynicism, *Sunset Boulevard* on Broadway scrutinizes the ambitions and frustrations of its characters and their addicting need for fame and adoration.

In today’s online and social media-obsessed culture, the musical’s themes of ambition and  fame deeply resonate. Director Jamie Lloyd has created a sparse and stunning new production that shocks and wows contemporary audiences. He breathed fresh life into last season’s *A Doll’s House* starring [Jessica Chastain](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/jessica-chastain), cutting that Ibsen classic to its core with a minimalist and haunting design. Now, the acclaimed West End production brings back Olivier Award nominee Scherzinger, who makes a highly anticipated Broadway debut as Norma Desmond, a role previously played by legends such as [Patti LuPone](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/patti-lupone) and Glenn Close.

Alongside this thrilling new production, the soaring music — including the songs “The Perfect Year,” “With One Look,” “As If We Never Said Goodbye” and the title song — by Andrew Lloyd Webber (known for his Tony Award-winning hits like *The Phantom of the Opera*, *Cats*, *Jesus Christ Superstar*, and others) makes *Sunset Boulevard* one of the buzziest revivals and productions of the Broadway season.

*Maybe Happy Ending* won the Richard Rodgers Award and is an offbeat and compelling story of two outcasts near the end of their warranty who get a new lease on life. Even robots can be swept off their feet, and audiences will be too: with a dazzling scenic design, moving book, and infectious songs, *Maybe Happy Ending* is a fresh, original musical about how connection batteries our life. Prepare to be charged to the max.

See Criss return to Broadway and newcomer Helen J Shen make her auspicious debut. “I am so very happy to be joining the enchanting world of *Maybe Happy Ending*,” said Criss in a press statement. “Will Aronson and Hue Park’s inventive book and music, combined with Michael Arden’s direction, is exactly the kind of alchemy that gets me most excited about what musical theater can be.”

## What to watch for

- Audiences may know of Darren Criss’s credits, given his renowned turn on *Glee* and on the New York stages in *[Little Shop of Horrors](https://www.todaytix.com/nyc/shows/24608-little-shop-of-horrors)* and *Hedwig and the Angry Inch*, but Helen J Shen is a star in her own right and has had a hang-up year appearing in new musicals including *Teeth* and *The Lonely Few* off Broadway.
- Criss said he has long wanted to work with director “Michael Arden, a visionary I’ve been wanting to work with for longer than I care to admit,” he said in a press statement. “I can’t wait for audiences to take part in this wonderfully original theatrical experience.”
- *Maybe Happy Ending* will also feature Dez Duron (*The Voice*), who makes his Broadway debut along with Shen.
- Reviews for the Alliance production were glowing; Broadway World noted the show is “marvelous…the story is interesting and beautifully realized, and it’ll leave you both eager and afraid to access your own relationship to love.”

Experience *Maybe Happy Ending* on Broadway. Set in a one-room apartment in the heart of Seoul, South Korea, Oliver lives an ordered and cozy, quiet life listening to his jazz records and caring for his favorite plant. He’s just a Helper-Bot 3, after all: a robot that has long been retired and is now considered obsolete. That doesn’t mean his life is over. When his fellow Helper-Bot neighbor Claire knocks on the door and asks to borrow his charger, what starts as a clumsy encounter leads to a unique friendship, a surprising adventure, and perhaps even something greater.

Criss is a celebrated performer — he’s an Emmy and Golden Globe award winner (*The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story*) and got his start in theatre with his viral, spoofy *A Very Potter Musical*. Shen is also a theatre star and has a knack for soaring in original musicals, including recent Off Broadway hits like *Teeth* and *The Lonely Few*. *Maybe Happy Ending* also features Dez Duron (*The Voice*), who makes his Broadway debut along with Shen. 

The musical, with book and music by Will Aronson and book and lyrics by Hue Park, premiered at Alliance Theatre where it won the Richard Rodgers Production Award. The Atlantic Journal Constitution called it “dazzling, a tour-de-force” and Atlanta InTown said the show is “breathtakingly beautiful to watch. You will see stage magic that you’ve never experienced in person in the live theatre.”

A classic musical, *Gypsy* takes place just as the once-popular vaudeville industry is declining in the early 20th century. Nonetheless, the constant dreamer and unbearable stage mom Momma Rose looks to push her daughter June into the spotlight at any cost — traveling the country, sweet-talking an agent (and her love interest), and neglecting June's less talented sister, Louise, who against all odds ends up as one of the burlesque scene’s most famous strippers. But as Rose remains in the shadows as Louise’s career ascends, she must come to terms with her own lack of self-love.

David Mamet is a master of chronicling toxic masculinity, and in *Glengarry Glen Ross* he shows how sharp, devious, and cunning a group of Chicago realtors can be. A fierce competition propels the play: the salesman who sells the most amount of money in real estate gets a flashy new car, and the one who sells the least is kicked out of the office. Egos, wits, and high-flying strategies collide in this powerful drama about the limits of decency and care in the face of all-out greed.

As housing becomes more and more expensive, the play continues to take on deeper meaning over time. Director Patrick Marber first saw the play as a teenager and is now moved to bring it back home to Broadway. “I will do my utmost to ensure that this great American play brings audiences the same great pleasures it brought to me,” the Tony Award winner said in a statement.

## What to watch for

- David Mamet won a Pulitzer Prize for this play, which was also nominated for a Tony Award. Mamet was most recently seen on Broadway with the revival of American Buffalo starring Darren Criss, who appears this season in *[Maybe Happy Ending](https://www.todaytix.com/nyc/shows/41018-maybe-happy-ending-on-broadway)*.
- Patrick Marber is a Broadway favorite, writing the play *Close* and also winning a Tony recently for directing *Leopoldstadt*.
- Kieran Culkin may be known for his screen credits but he’s no stranger to the stage, previously appearing in another revival of a classic, *This Is Our Youth*.
- The star-studded 1992 movie version of this play featured Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin, and Ed Harris.

Othello on Broadway - NYC - Square

*Othello* explores the marriage of Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army, and Desdemona, who wed the military leader against her father's wishes. Iago, Othello's ensign, harbors a deep-seated resentment towards him and conspires to manipulate Othello's trust and sow seeds of jealousy. Through deceitful machinations, Iago convinces Othello that Desdemona has been unfaithful with Cassio, Othello's lieutenant. Consumed by jealousy, Othello's love turns to suspicion, leading him to murder Desdemona in a fit of blind rage. When the truth is revealed, Othello is devastated by the depth of Iago's betrayal and Desdemona's innocence. The tragedy concludes with Othello's suicide and Iago's apprehension. 

One of Shakespeare’s most celebrated works, *Othello* poignantly dives into themes of love, jealousy, racism, and betrayal, resonating across centuries. The play is a highly alluring one for performers thanks to its powerful portrayal of the destructive consequences of unchecked jealousy, and innovative directors are always finding fresh ways to interpret the resonant story.

## What to watch for

- Kenny Leon is known for honoring classic plays and giving them strong Broadway productions;  he’s received Tony Award nominations for such work in *Fences, Purlie Victorious*, and *A Soldier’s Play*.
- *Othello* is a highly popular show — so popular, that this revival is, per Internet Broadway Database, the twenty-second Broadway production.
- While Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal have been in plenty of movies, they have never played opposite each other, giving audiences a unique chance to see these two stars battle it out on stage.
- *Othello* has enjoyed countless adaptations, including dozens of films and operas by Rossini and Verde.

Experience *Othello* on Broadway to see two of Hollywood’s biggest forces come together in William Shakespeare’s masterful drama. Coming to Broadway after another A-list revival of a Shakespeare play — the Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler production of *[Romeo + Juliet](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/40696-romeo-and-juliet-on-broadway)* — this marks a big season for Shakespeare fans and the Bard on Broadway. 

In this timeless classic, the jealousy-prone Othello is unnerved when the cunning Iago puts false ideas in his head that his wife, Desdemona, may be cheating on him. Othello, an army general, is driven mad by the voices in his head as Iago increasingly sews doubts to unravel the military leader. A story of trust, envy, and the consequences of unjustified anger, *Othello* endures as a cautionary tale for anyone whose ego gets ahead of their conscience.

The play’s stars are best known for the screen roles — Washington for his two Academy Award-winning turns in *Glory* and *Training Day*, Gyllenhaal in his Academy Award-nominated performance in *Brokeback Mountain* — but the two are also stage veterans. Leon previously directed Washington in *A Raisin in the Sun* and *Fences*, with the latter winning him a Tony Award. Gyllenhaal recently appeared on Broadway in *Sea Wall/A Life*, which earned him a Tony nomination, and he also sang in *Sunday in the Park with George*.

Brian Anthony Moreland produces this revival and is best known for also producing *[The Wiz](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/27115-the-wiz-tickets)*. Tickets to *Othello* will be available soon on New York Theatre Guide.
