B'way Update: John Proctor Is the Villain

Sadie Sink
The spring Broadway season just got more crowded. We just learned Real Women Have Curves: The Musical will be added to the April 2025 roster. Today, there was the announcement for Sadie Sink (Stranger Things, The Whale) to star in Kimberly Belflower's John Proctor Is the Villain, a new play re-examining Arthur Miller's The Crucible about the Salem witchcraft trials. Previews begin March 20, 2025 with an opening set for April 14 at the Booth Theater. Tony winner Danya Taymor (The Outsiders) directs. Additional casting will be announced. Sink previously appeared on Broadway as a child in Annie and The Audience.
