“As we welcome Christopher Ashley into artistic leadership, this season is a bridge, grounded in what [the late] Todd [Haimes, previous artistic director] built, and intentionally making space for Chris to shape what’s next,” said Scott Ellis, Interim Artistic Director.
“The season Scott and I have shaped builds on what Roundabout has always believed: that theatre can hold the classic and the urgent side by side. We’re proud to have new work anchoring our season, even as we revisit a landmark comedy with fresh eyes and make room for a big, unabashedly entertaining musical,” added Christopher Ashley, Incoming Artistic Director.
The line-up begins with Tony winner Bill Irwin (Largely New York, Fool Moon) returning to Broadway starring in his own adaptation of Moliere's The Imaginary Invalid, directed by Brandon J. Dirden (Waiting for Godot). Irwin plays Argon, a wealthy hypochondriac who schemes to marry off his daughter to a doctor to save on medical bills. Performance begin in the fall at the Todd Haimes Theater.
Also in the fall, The Heart, a new musical, will premiere at the Off-Broadway Laura Pels. A young surfer’s life is cut short. A stranger suddenly has a second chance. And the life-force of one beating heart drives two families and a medical team through 24 hours that couldn’t matter more. Playwright Kait Kerrigan (The Great Gatsby) and Anne Eisendrath and Ian Eisendrath (of KPop Demon Hunters) join forces with Tony Award-winning director Christopher Ashley (Roundabout’s incoming artistic director) and choreographer Mandy Moore (Taylor Swift’s Eras tour) to adapt Maylis de Kerangal's 2014 novel Réparer les vivants, in the company's first new Off Broadway musical in years.
