The Broadway premiere of Bess Wohl's Liberation, currently at the James Earl Jones, has extended! Originally scheduled to run through January 11, 2026, the production will now continue through February 1.

The work centers on a group of women who gather to talk, during the second wave feminist movement of the 1970s, about changing their own lives and the world. Fifty years later, one of their daughters looks to the past for answers when she finds history repeating itself. 

The play, which made its world premiere Off-Broadway via Roundabout Theatre Company earlier this year, has brought its full original company to Broadway. Whitney White (The Last Five Years) again directs, after staging the Off-Broadway run. Opening night was October 28. See what critics had to say here. The Off-Broadway premiere production won the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway play. The original Off-Broadway company was honored by both the Drama Desk and the NY Drama Critic’s Circle for Best Ensemble Performance.
