THE REAL THING returns to Broadway in a stirring and sensual new production helmed by critically acclaimed director Sam Gold (Roundabout's Picnic, Seminar). This Tony Award-winning play by Tom Stoppard (The Coast of Utopia, Arcadia) first seduced audiences in London and New York nearly 30 years ago. In THE REAL THING, Henry is a playwright not so happily married to Charlotte, the lead actress in his play about a marriage on the verge of collapse. When Henry's affair with their friend Annie threatens to destroy his own marriage, he discovers that life has started imitating art. When Annie leaves her husband so she and Henry can begin a new life together, he can only wonder: is their love the real thing? Delectably witty and deeply affecting, THE REAL THING takes a daring glimpse at relationships, fidelity, and the passions that often blur our perception of love.

DINNER WITH FRIENDS . Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this highly celebrated play by Donald Margulies (Time Stands Still) comes to Broadway for the first time, with direction by Tony Award nominee Pam MacKinnon (Clybourne Park). Ever since blissfully married Karen and Gabe played matchmaker with their friends Beth and Tom, the two couples have been inseparable-going to the Vineyard every summer, raising their kids and enjoying countless dinners together. But when one marriage unexpectedly crumbles, the couples' lives begin to veer in opposite directions. Can these four friends move on to the next chapter without moving apart... or have they changed beyond recognition? Wryly funny and richly layered, DINNER WITH FRIENDS is a modern masterpiece about the path you choose, the millions you don't and the detours that make it worth the ride.

BAD JEWS. The uproarious family feuding continues as Roundabout Underground's world premiere hit comedy BAD JEWS moves upstairs to the Laura Pels Theatre! The New York Times called Tracee Chimo (Roundabout's Harvey) "marvelous, startling and savagely funny" as Daphna Feygenbaum, a "real Jew" with an Israeli boyfriend to prove it. When Daphna's cousin Liam brings home his shiksa girlfriend Melody and declares ownership of their grandfather's Chai necklace, it sparks a viciously hilarious brawl over family, faith and legacy.

The full original cast returns in Joshua Harmon's "biting and brilliant" (Variety) play about the holy and the holier-than-thou. Daniel Aukin (4000 miles) directs.
