Roundabout has pushed back additional productions originally scheduled for 2020. The revival of Caroline or Change (which explores similar themes to Trouble in Mind) with Sharon D. Clarke, is now slated for the spring of 2021 at Studio 54. The gender-inclusive restaging of 1776, to be directed by Diane Paulus, will also open next spring, but at the American Airlines. Birthday Candles, to star Debra Messing, will now open in the fall of 2021. Paulus was the subject of accusations of racism in a video posted on social media by actor-writer Griffin Matthews with whom she collaborated on the musical Witness Uganda, later retitled Invisible Thread. Paulus responded with an apology, promising to "do better" in the future.
Roundabout's Off-Broadway production ...what the end will be by Kireh Breon Holder opens at the Laura Pels Theater in the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theater and Exception to the Rule by Dave Harris will also open at the Steinberg Center. Both shows open in spring 2021.
