What's New on Broadway...
For all you theatre fans out there, take a look at our top picks for what’s new on Broadway, New York this year…
Rachel McAdams, known and loved for her roles in ‘Mean Girls’, ‘The Notebook’ and many others makes her Broadway debut in ‘Mary Jane’, written by Pulitzer Prize finalist Amy Herzog. Captivating, affecting, and compassionate, it's the story of a single mother in an impossible family situation. Faced with seemingly insurmountable odds, Mary Jane relies on unflagging optimism and humour, along with the wisdom of the women around her who have become a makeshift family, to take on each new day. But will inner strength and newfound friendships be enough to see her through?
Multiple award winner and writer of ‘Doubt’ and ‘Moonstruck’, John Patrick Shanley, returns to MTC with the world premiere of ‘A Brooklyn Laundry’. Sometimes big things start from little things, in this case a bag of laundry. A play about three sisters and a guy who run a laundry in Brooklyn, this is the story of the sometimes-savage tricks that life plays on them. Tragic and funny by turns, this story will remind you what is important in life and the sorrow and joy of fully embracing adulthood.
Join comedian and actor Cole Escola in the one-act play ‘Oh, Mary!’, a dark comedy focussed on the miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Unrequited yearning, alcoholism, and suppressed desires are examined through the forgotten life and dreams of Mrs Lincoln. Get your tickets here.
