Pulitzer-Winning Cost of Living Extends Broadway Run

The Broadway premiere of Martyna Majok's Cost of Living, which officially opened at Manhattan Theatre Club’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre October 3 following previews that began September 13, has extended its limited engagement by one week. The Pulitzer Prize-winning play will now continue through November 6. Read reviews for the production here.

The cast of four stars Tony nominee Kara Young (Clyde's) as Jess, David Zayas (Anna in the Tropics) as Eddie, Lucille Lortel winner Gregg Mozgala (Teenage Dick) as John, and Lucille Lortel winner Katy Sullivan (The Long Red Road) as Ani. Mozgala and Sullivan reprise their roles from MTC’s 2017 Off-Broadway production of the play. Jo Bonney, who directed the Off-Broadway run, returned to direct the Broadway bow.

Majok’s play follows four people in very different circumstances—ranging from unemployment to physical disability—trying to get by.

The creative team also includes Lucille Lortel-nominated scenic designer Wilson Chin (Space Dogs), Drama Desk-nominated costume designer Jessica Pabst (She Kills Monsters), Tony-winning lighting designer Jeff Croiter (Peter and the Starcatcher), and Tony-winning sound designer Robert Kaplowitz (Fela!). Original music is by Tony nominee Mikaal Sulaiman (Macbeth), and movement is by Drama Desk winner Thomas Schall (A Soldier's Play). The Telsey Office, Caparelliotis Casting, and Kelly Gillespie cast the production. David Lurie-Perret is production stage manager.
