Hans Litten: The Jew Who Cross-Examined Hitler
Sometimes you have to act fast to make history. Based on a remarkable true story, Hans Litten centers on the young Jewish lawyer who, in 1931, did the seemingly impossible: He called Adolf Hitler to the witness stand and publicly exposed the future dictator’s embrace of political violence, two years before Hitler rose to power. It remains one of the most audacious legal confrontations of the 20th century.
At once intellectually thrilling and emotionally devastating, Hans Litten: The Jew Who Cross-Examined Hitler is a powerful reminder of how fragile democracy can be, and how profound the impact of individual moral courage remains. The play moves from the charged atmosphere of Berlin courtrooms to the brutal reality of Nazi concentration camps, tracing Litten’s unwavering commitment to justice, reason, and human dignity. Refusing to remain silent in the face of rising authoritarianism, Litten risks—and ultimately sacrifices—his life for the rule of law. Playbill has a discount code that is only applicable before the play begins performances January 30, so move quickly if you want your seat in the courtroom.

Marjorie Prime
How far are you willing to go to hold on to the ones you love? Jordan Harrison's Pulitzer finalist play is back in New York, starring Oscar nominee June Squibb as Marjorie, an elderly woman with dementia who struggles to bear the recurring loss of her beloved husband. The solution? A Prime (Christopher Lowell), a new piece of technology programmed to look exactly like her husband at the beginning of their marriage, encoded with as many memories and details she, her daughter Tess (Tony winner Cynthia Nixon), and her son-in-law John (Tony winner Danny Burstein) are willing to share. A heart-achingly beautiful rumination on aging and artificial intelligence, memory and mortality, and love and legacy, Marjorie Prime examines the blurred line between a life lived and a life remembered.
Use code MARJBILL to purchase orchestra seats starting at $79 and mezzanine starting at $59 (regular price ($89–$199). Discount code valid through February 8, 2026.

Welcome to opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous for one theatre company. With an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines), you're sure to leave with aching sides and a wide smile.

For non-television show fans, the play is still a multi-Olivier Award winning production, incorporating landmark technical advancements and stunning special effects for a science fiction storyline that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
