The Broadway debut of Tom Stoppard's Olivier-winning Leopoldstadt began previews September 14 at the Longacre Theatre and officially openened October 2—go inside the starry opening night with the photos below.
The show transferred from London's West End under the direction of Patrick Marber, who also helmed the London run.

The Olivier-winning play originally premiered in London in 2020 at the Wyndham Theatre, reuniting Stoppard, Marber, and producer Sonia Friedman for the first time since collaborating on Travesties in 2017. Stoppard has previously had 18 plays staged on Broadway, beginning with his famous reimagining Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, which opened 55 years ago. Since then, his work has won four Tony Awards for Best Play.
In partnership with Gold House and The Asian American Foundation, the musical is aiming to raise $1 million in tax deductible donations to subsidize tickets in October.
