B'way Update: Three Days of Rain

The trend for revivals continues as the latest entry in the 2026-27 Broadway season is announced. Richard Greenberg's Three Days of Rain, previously seen Off and on Broadway, will begin performance in February 2027 at a Shubert theater to be announced with a cast mainly known for their film and TV credits. The cast of three who will play two roles each is comprised on Francois Arnaud (Heated Rivalry), David Corenswet (Superman), and Emmy nominee Yvonne Strahovski (Serena Joy from The Handmaid's Tale). Tony winner Anna D. Shapiro will direct.  

Anna D. Shapiro said, “THREE DAYS OF RAIN is truly one of the most beautiful plays I’ve ever done or experienced. Steeped in the brilliantly funny and enchantingly complex world of Richard Greenberg, the story follows two generations of New York intelligentsia as they navigate the burden of family, the seduction of art and the necessity of love over time and eternity.”

Three Days of Rain premiered in NYC Off-Broadway in a 1997 Manhattan Theater Club production with Patricia Clarkson, John Slattery and Bradley Whitford. The play was a Pulitzer finalist and won an Obie Award. A 2006 Broadway revival was headlined by movie stars Julia Roberts, Paul Rudd and Bradley Cooper.

This brings the number of Broadway play revivals for 2026-7 to ten with only four new plays scheduled (five if you count Billy Crystal's autobiographical solo show).
