The Second Stage Theater revival of Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' Appropriate has announced a third and final extension on Broadway. Previously slated to close June 23 after a transfer to the Belasco Theatre, the production will now continue performances through June 30.

Almost all of the original Broadway cast has continued with the transfer, including Sarah Paulson, Corey Stoll, Michael Esper, Natalie Gold, Graham Campbell, Alyssa Emily Marvin, Lincoln Cohen, and Everett Sobers. Ella Beatty assumed the role of River from original cast member Elle Fanning.

Appropriate is currently up for eight 2024 Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Play, Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play for Sarah Paulson, Best Performance by an Actor in Featured Role in a Play for Corey Stoll, Best Direction of a Play for Lila Neugebauer, Best Scenic Design of a Play for dots, Best Lighting Design of a Play for Jane Cox, Best Costume Design of a Play for Dede Ayite, and Best Sound Design of Play for Bray Poor and Will Pickens.

“We are beyond thrilled to extend Appropriate for one more week so additional audiences can witness this astonishing cast bring Branden’s brilliant play to life,” producers of Appropriate said in a joint statement. “The response from critics and audiences alike has been overwhelming, propelling the production from The Hayes Theater to an extended run at The Belasco and we feel lucky and extremely grateful for the support the show has received from the Broadway community.”

The work centers on a white family who, while closing out the estate of their late father, discover some disturbing artifacts that force them to confront their family's past. The play was previously produced in 2014 Off-Broadway at Signature Theatre.

The Belasco transfer gives the Second Stage Theater production a commercial run on the Main Stem, with Ambassador Theatre Group, Amanda Dubois, Annapurna Theatre, Bad Robot Live, Kristin Caskey, Mike Issacson, and Bee Carrozzini stepping in to produce in association with Second Stage.
