It is the first Broadway production of the 2016-17 theatre season to reach this milestone, having recouped in just under 15 weeks.

Directed by three-time Tony Award winner Jack O’Brien, The Front Page features Nathan Lane, John Slattery, John Goodman, Jefferson Mays, Holland Taylor, Sherie Rene Scott, and Robert Morse, along with Dylan Baker, Patricia Conolly, Halley Feiffer, Dann Florek, John Magaro, Danny Mastrogiorgio, Christopher McDonald, David Pittu, Joey Slotnick, Lewis J. Stadlen, Micah Stock, and Clarke Thorell. The limited engagement continues through January 29.

This all-star production of Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur’s classic 1928 comedy, set in the world of the Chicago newspaper business, is described as such: “The press room of Chicago’s Criminal Courts Building is buzzing with reporters covering the story of an escaped prisoner. When star reporter Hildy Johnson (Slattery) accidentally discovers the runaway convict, he and his editor Walter Burns (Lane) conspire to hide the man from the other reporters, while they chase the biggest scoop of their careers.”

The production has set design by Douglas W. Schmidt, costume design by Ann Roth, lighting design by Brian MacDevitt, and sound design by Scott Lehrer.
