The Seat of Our Pants - Closing
Buy Tickets

A rollicking adaptation of Thornton Wilder’s The Skin of Our Teeth, this new musical about age-old problems tells the twisting, often absurd story of the Antrobus family, who have been alive for 5,000 years but live in the same existential dread as the rest of us. Mired in the hot mess of their everyday worries, the Antrobuses survive all manner of catastrophes in an endless quest to begin again, and again, and again.

Art - Closing
Buy Tickets

Don't miss Bobby Cannavale, James Corden, and Neil Patrick Harris in the first Broadway revival of the Tony Award®️-winning play ART by Yasmina Reza. Three longtime friends. One ridiculously expensive painting. Is it art, or is it just the world’s priciest inside joke? What begins as a polite debate over aesthetics and taste devolves into a clash of egos and resentments. Can their friendship survive, or will one of them finally draw the line? Directed by Scott Ellis, this sleek and sophisticated comedy is a strictly limited engagement.

The Baker's Wife - Closing
Buy Tickets

In a quiet French village, a baker and his wife bring fresh bread…and fresh gossip. But when temptation stirs and hearts wander, the whole town gets caught up in a swirl of romance, mischief, and melody. Ariana DeBose and Scott Bakula star in a rare revival of this Stephen Schwartz musical.

Richard II - Closing
Buy Tickets

Richard II is charismatic, eloquent and loved by his friends. And a disastrous King – dishonest, capricious and politically incompetent. Echoing down the centuries is the perennial problem: how to deal with a ruler who has a rock solid right to rule but is set on wrecking the country he leads. Shakespeare’s subtle, ambiguous and beautiful play finds feudal England on the cusp of modernity, as a divinely sanctioned monarch is confronted, in the figure of Henry Bolingbroke, by the hard-headed pragmatism of real authority.

Beetlejuice - Closing
Buy Tickets

After haunting theatres all over North America, the national tour of Beetlejuice has arrived at its final resting place: Broadway! Based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film, this hilariously demented musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes. But this strictly limited engagement won’t live forever — the fun lasts through January 3 only, so book your seats now!

The Queen of Versailles - Closing
Buy Tickets

Based on the wildly astonishing documentary directed by award-winning filmmaker Lauren Greenfield, The Queen of Versailles reunites celebrated Academy Award®–winning songwriter Stephen Schwartz with Tony® and Emmy Award® winner Kristin Chenoweth as Jackie Siegel. With a book by Lindsey Ferrentino (Ugly Lies the Bone, Amy and the Orphans) and direction by Tony Award winner Michael Arden (Maybe Happy Ending, Parade), The Queen of Versailles is a new musical exploring the true cost of fame, fortune, and family.

Waiting for Godot - Closing
Buy Tickets

Celebrated actors Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter are real-life friends starring on Broadway as two friends searching for meaning in an absurd world. Directed by Tony® and Olivier Award-winning visionary Jamie Lloyd, this exhilarating, hilarious and deeply human new production of Samuel Beckett’s self-proclaimed “tragicomedy” asks all of life’s big questions—and answers none of them. It’s ridiculous! Life, and this play. But the wait is worth the wait.

Liberation - Closing
Buy Tickets

Liberation comes to Broadway for a strictly limited engagement following its world premiere earlier this year at Roundabout Theatre Company, where it earned ecstatic reviews and won the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Play. It's 1970: somewhere in Ohio, six women meet on a basement basketball court, determined to shake up their lives and change the world. Fifty years later, one of their daughters tries to understand where things fell apart. A provocative, wildly theatrical world premiere that poses vital questions about friendship, legacy, and the true meaning of liberation.
