Marvin's Room
Roundabout Theatre Company brings Scott McPherson’s award-winning Marvin’s Room to Broadway for the first time after its 1991 Off-Broadway production and Academy Award-nominated 1996 screen adaptation that starred Meryl Streep, Diane Keaton, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro. McPherson’s poignant and wildly funny play is about the laughter that can shine through life’s darkest moments.

Now the women are about to reunite for the first time in 18 years.
