Paul Mescal-Led STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE Will Play NYC Following West End Return in 2025

The Paul Mescal-led production of A Streetcar Named Desire, which won the actor an Olivier award in 2023, will return to the West End in 2025 before transferring to New York. The production will return to the West End at the Noël Coward Theatre from February 3 – 22, before it makes its US Premiere in Brooklyn in Spring 2025.

Deadline previously reported that Mescal would make his Broadway debut as 'Stanley Kowalski' when the show transfers to Broadway in spring 2025, but there is currently no  word on a Broadway transfer.

Directed by Rebecca Frecknall (Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club), the production ran for six weeks in spring 2023 at The Phoenix Theatre. Patsy Ferran, Anjana Vasan and Dwane Walcott, who played Stella, Blanch, and Mitch respectively, will also return for the West End and New York engagement. Check out what the critics had to say.

On Thursday 14 November, tickets for the three-week West End engagement will go onsale to DMT+ members at 10am, to ATG+ members and Almeida Supporters at 12pm and to anyone who signs up for priority access to tickets at 2pm. To gain access to tickets from 2pm, sign up now via www.streetcarwestend.com. Tickets will then go on general sale via DMT, ATG and Almeida at 10am on Friday 15 November.

On a street in New Orleans, in the blistering summer heat, a sister spirals. When Blanche unexpectedly visits her estranged sister Stella, she brings with her a past that will threaten their future. As Stella's husband Stanley stalks closer to the truth, Blanche's fragile world begins to fracture. Reality and illusion collide and a violent conflict changes their lives forever.

The principle cast will be joined by Eduardo Ackerman (Pablo Gonzales), Rob Dempsey (Understudy Drummer/Doctor), Janet Etuk (Eunice Hubbel), Alexander Eliot (Steve Hubbel/Understudy Stanley Kowalski/Harold "Mitch" Mitchell), Gabriela Garcia (Flower Seller/Nurse/Singer/Understudy Stella Kowalski), Francesca Knight (Understudy Blanche Dubois/Eunice Hubbel), Tom Penn (Doctor/Drummer), Curtis Patrick (Understudy Young Collector/Steve Hubbel/Pablo Gonzales), Constanza Ruff (Understudy Flower Seller/Nurse/Singer) and Jabez Sykes (Young Collector).
