Roundabout Theater Company has announced its 2025-26 season with revivals and new plays as well as a renovation of its Todd Haimes Theater, set to re-open in 2026 with a production of Noel Coward's
Fallen Angels. Meanwhile, two Broadway productions will play Studio 54: a modern adaptation of the Greek tragedy
Oedipus and a revival of
The Rocky Horror Show. Robert Icke (Hamlet, The Doctor, Orestia) has adapted Sophocles's Oedipus, recasting the tragic hero as a contemporary politician. This London production has been nominated for four 2025 Olivier Awards and the British stars Mark Strong (A View from the Bridge) and Lesley Manville (The Phantom Thread, Another Year) will repeat their leading roles in the Roundabout staging set for this fall at Studio 54.

Richard O'Brien's cult-hit favorite
The Rocky Horror Show follows in the Spring. Sam Pinkleton of
Oh, Mary! directs a new production. Ironically when the show first appeared on Broadway in 1975 it was a 45-performance flop. But the movie inspired feverish devotion and a 2000 revival fared better with 437 performances.
Emmy nominee Rose Bryne and Tony winner Kelli O'Hara will star in Noel Coward's Fallen Angels, directed by Roundabout Interim Artistic Director Scott Ellis, set to reopened the renovated Todd Haimes. This comedy of two suburban wives clashing over the return of a mutual lover has a brief Broadway run in 1927, but a 1956 revival did better with 239 performances. The latter starred Nancy Walker (Rhoda, On the Town), Margaret Philips (Summer and Smoke), Alice Pearce (Bewitched), William Windom (Murder She Wrote) and Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. (The FBI).
Off-Broadway, Roundabout's Laura Pels will play host to two new play. Archduke by Rajiv Joseph (currently represented Off-Broadway by Dakar 2000 at Manhattan Theater Club) will star Tony nominee Patrick Page (Hadestown) in an historic drama focusing on the anarchist group responsible for the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinan which launched the First World War. Tony winner Darko Tresnjak (A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder) directs. Alex Lin's Chinese Republicans deals with a group of high-powered businesswomen whose monthly lunches are joined by a bright young woman. Obie winner Chey Yew directs.
