The Crucible
Arthur Miller's THE CRUCIBLE has returned to Broadway in a new production by the acclaimed Belgian director Ivo van Hove. Ben Brantley of The New York Times raves, "you must - and I mean it, you must - catch the play that transforms a fraught slice of American history into a pulsing, present-tense event. The Devil has returned to Broadway, with the power to make the strong tremble." Set during the Salem witch trials of the 1690s, The Crucible is a timeless parable of morality, a scorching indictment of intolerance, and a central work in the canon of American drama.
Performances: 6/29 at 2 PM and 8 PM, 6/30 at 7 PM, 7/1 at 8 PM, 7/2 at 2 PM and 8 PM, 7/3 at 3 PM, and 7/5 at 7 PM.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
Winner of the 2015 Tony Award for Best New Play, the acclaimed National Theatre production of THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME is in its final weeks! Two-time Tony Award winner Marianne Elliott (War Horse) directs this "dazzling, pulse-pounding and remarkable" (Time Out New York) adaptation by Tony and Olivier Award winner Simon Stephens that brings Mark Haddon's internationally best-selling novel to thrilling life.
Performances: 7/1 at 8 PM , 7/2 at 2 PM and 8 PM, and 7/3 at 3 PM
Fully Committed
Five-time Emmy Award nominee Jesse Tyler Ferguson is a "comic dynamo" (The New York Times) in FULLY COMMITTED, the "sublimely funny" (The Washington Post) Broadway comedy that takes a sharp skewer to the backside of the restaurant biz. Ferguson plays all 40 characters in this side-splitting tour-de-force directed by Tony winner Jason Moore (Pitch Perfect, Avenue Q). It's "nonstop laughter" (The Wall Street Journal), but it's only on Broadway through July 31. Get a table while you still can!
