As “Conrad Birdie”
Directed and Choreographed by Robert Longbottom
The exuberant rock n' roll smash hit returns to Broadway for the first time in almost 50 years! It's 1960, and hip-swingin' teen idol Conrad Birdie has been drafted into the army. But don't worry girls! His manager Albert has cooked up a plan to send him off with a swell new song and one last kiss from a lucky teenage fan...on “The Ed Sullivan Show”! Featuring a score with more pop than a pack of bubble gum, including “A Lot of Livin' to Do,” “Kids,” and “Put on a Happy Face,” it's impossible to resist the charms of this Tony Award®-winning musical! – more about the show >>

Broadway Premiere
created and performed by Carrie Fisher
directed by Tony Taccone
Legendary actress, author and tabloid sensation Carrie Fisher boldly takes her sensationally bizarre life story to the Broadway stage. In Wishful Drinking, Carrie divulges all the highs and lows of life as a Hollywood princess, including her battles with depression, mental illness and any number of addictions, affairs and breakdowns...and whatever else she can still remember. The child of Hollywood inbreeding and the poster child of male teenage fantasies, Carrie bares all in what she describes as an embarrassingly intimate account of her all-too-eventful existence. Part performance, part confession and all kinds of crazy, Wishful Drinking is both a juicy celebrity tell-all and a hilariously intoxicating theatrical event.

by Dick Scanlan & Sherie Rene Scott
Directed by Michael Mayer
Tony Award® nominee Sherie Rene Scott has taken on some of Broadway's most challenging roles, including an evil sea witch (The Little Mermaid), a pampered princess (Aida) and a dirty, rotten scoundrel (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels). Now this leading lady is playing her most daunting part yet: herself. Well, kinda.
EVERYDAY RAPTURE tells the true-ish story of a young woman's journey from Mennonite to Manhattanite and from bedroom lip-syncher to Broadway semi-star! Featuring songs by David Byrne, Elton John, Mister Rogers, The Supremes, Tom Waits, U2 and Judy Garland, EVERYDAY RAPTURE is an uplifting and uproarious new musical that asks, is it better to worship...or BE worshipped?
This sensational production is directed by Tony Award winner Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening) with a book by Sherie Rene Scott and Tony Award nominee Dick Scanlan (Thoroughly Modern Millie), choreography by Michele Lynch, and a fabulous cast led by Miss Scott. Don't miss EVERYDAY RAPTURE—a musical like this doesn't come along every day!

New York Premiere
by Theresa Rebeck
directed by Scott Ellis
The star he's working with doesn't get the play. The disgruntled stage manager happens to be his bitter ex-fiancé. The set technician is high. Just another day in the life of an understudy. The most thankless job in theatre takes center stage in Theresa Rebeck's bitingly funny new look at the underbelly of the acting world. Through the course of a dress rehearsal, we glimpse all the genius, bitterness and ridiculousness that underscore a life in showbiz. Tony Award® winner Julie White (The Little Dog Laughed) returns to Roundabout alongside Mark-Paul Gosselaar (TNT's “Raising the Bar”) and Justin Kirk (Showtime's “Weeds”) in this delightfully original New York premiere, directed by Scott Ellis (Twelve Angry Men).

in this terrific new production. FIERCELY MOVING & SERIOUSLY FUNNY.” – The New York Times
“GRADE: A! MESMERIZING COLLABORATIVE PERFORMANCE.” – Entertainment Weekly
“MAGNIFICENT.” – New York Post
“YOU MUST SEE THIS SHOW AT ONCE!” – Wall Street Journal
by Tennessee Williams
directed by Gordon Edelstein
Two-time Tony Award® winner Judith Ivey starred as Amanda Wingfield in this daring interpretation of Tennessee Williams' classic drama, which came to Roundabout Theatre Company following a critically-acclaimed run at the Long Wharf Theatre. THE GLASS MENAGERIE is a gripping portrait of an American family struggling to maintain the fragile balance between a difficult past and an uncertain future. This powerful new version blurs the delicate line between playwright and narrator, infusing Tom Wingfield's (Patch Darragh) flashbacks with fresh meaning and bringing visceral truth to his tangled relationships with Laura (Keira Keeley), Amanda and Jim (Michael Mosley ). Renowned for its vivid characters, exquisitely written dialogue and absorbing story, THE GLASS MENAGERIE has the capacity to move, to entrance and to dazzle.
