Second Stage Theater has found the complete cast for their upcoming Broadway production of Becky Shaw. Beginning performances March 18, 2026, the production is set to officially open at the Hayes Theatre April 6.
Directed by Trip Cullman, the play centers on a blind date as it spirals spectacularly off the rails in this dark comedy from two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist Gina Gionfriddo. Initially premiering Off-Broadway with Second Stage in 2009, the play was a Pulitzer finalist, alongside Lin-Manuel Miranda's In The Heights and Lynn Nottage's Ruined, which took the top prize.
The Broadway company will feature Emmy nominee Madeline Brewer (You, The Handmaid’s Tale) in the title role of Becky Shaw, with Tony winner Lauren Patten (Jagged Little Pill, Days of Rage) a Suzanna. They join the previously announced Patrick Ball (The Pitt) as Andrew, Alden Ehrenreich (Weapons) as Max, and three-time Tony nominee Linda Emond (Cabaret) as Susan.
The production will serve as the Broadway debuts for much of the company. Along with playwright Gionfriddo, the play will serve as the Broadway debut for Brewer, Ball, and Ehrenreich.
Cullman's creative team will include scenic designer David Zinn, costume designer Kaye Voyce, and lighting designer Stacey Derosier.
