It’s the best thing that ever could have happened! Following sold-out runs in London and at the New York Theatre Workshop, Merrily We Roll Along is returning to Broadway — and with Maria Friedman’s widely acclaimed production, it is poised at last to take its place in the pantheon of great American musicals. Featuring one of Sondheim's most celebrated and personal scores, and moving backwards in time, Merrily charts the turbulent relationship between three lifelong friends — played by Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff, and Lindsay Mendez — and traces every milestone of their lives for nearly two decades as they navigate success, show business and unbreakable bonds.“It’s our time, breathe it in; worlds to change and worlds to win.”
Merrily We Roll Along comes to Broadway’s Hudson Theatre this fall.

Adapted by Amy Frey from the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald You’re invited to one of Jay Gatsby’s infamous parties at the Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum. Have a cocktail with Nick, a dance with Daisy, and meet the enigmatic Gatsby himself. Frey’s new play examines F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic story of love, betrayal, and loss, through the lens of class structure and social hierarchy, as audiences are invited to immerse themselves in the world of The Great Gatsby. SINGLE ROOM SUNDAYS Most performances of our Fall 2023 production of The Great Gatsby will move the audience throughout Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum, including up to the second floor. However, our 2pm matinee performance on September 24 and October 1 will utilize only the double parlor on the ground floor, and will not involve audience movement. Guests who prefer not to climb stairs or move about the house during performances may prefer to attend one of these special “single-room Sunday” matinees.

The concept of the show was developed from Robyn’s love of her favorite storytellers, Spalding Gray and David Sedaris. Rarely leaving the stage, she changes wardrobe as she speaks.

Following acclaimed runs in London, Edinburgh, Melbourne, Boston, and Washington D.C., as well as a six-time extended Off-Broadway engagement, Alex Edelman’s JUST FOR US finally arrives at the one place it hasn’t been — Broadway — this summer for nine weeks only! In the wake of a string of anti-Semitic threats pointed in his direction online, standup comic Edelman decides to go straight to the source; specifically, Queens, where he covertly attends a meeting of White Nationalists and comes face-to-face with the people behind the keyboards. What happens next forms the backbone of the shockingly relevant, utterly hilarious, and only moderately perspirant stories that comprise JUST FOR US. Expertly crafted by one of comedy’s most distinctive voices, this singular theatrical experience is an exploration of identity and our collective capacity for empathy — oh, and it’s also “belly-laugh funny!” (The New York Times). “Uproarious! Among Edelman’s many strengths as a writer and performer is an exceptional eye for the absurd.” The New Yorker This production contains theatrical fog/haze. Please be advised.
