Previews begin on Thursday, August 28th with an official opening night on Tuesday, September 16th at Broadway’s Music Box Theatre, New York City. The production will play a limited 17-week engagement through December 21, 2025.

Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter 

Jamie Lloyd’s new production of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot will star Keanu Reeves as ‘Estragon’ and Alex Winter as ‘Vladimir.' 

Beckett’s masterpiece, Waiting For Godot, is acknowledged as one of the greatest plays of the 20th century. Originally premiering in 1953 in French with a subsequent English-language production premiering in 1955 in London, it has become a cultural touchstone having been translated into dozens of languages and has inspired artists in the worlds of film, television, dance, opera, visual arts, fashion, and even video games.

The production will play Broadway’s Hudson Theatre with preview performances beginning Saturday, September 13 for a Sunday, September 28 opening night. This strictly limited engagement will play through Sunday, January 4, 2026 only.  

Laurie Metcalf and Micah Stock 

Little Bear Ridge Road, the new play by Samuel D. Hunter, marking his Broadway debut, will premiere on Broadway for a limited 18-week run this fall starring Laurie Metcalf and Micah Stock, reprising their performances from the production’s world premiere at The Steppenwolf Theatre Company, with direction by Joe Mantello. 

Rounding out the company from the initial run at Steppenwolf Theatre are John Drea as ‘James’ and Meighan Gerachis as ‘Paulette.’

The design team for Little Bear Ridge Road includes Scott Pask (scenic design), Jessica Pabst (costume design), Heather Gilbert (lighting design), and Mikhail Fiksel (sound design). The show is produced by Scott Rudin and Barry Diller.

Lea Michele and Aaron Tveit 

Chess is coming back to Broadway!  Tony Award winner Aaron Tveit (Moulin Rouge), Emmy Award nominee Lea Michele (Funny Girl) and Nicholas Christopher (Sweeney Todd) will lead the first-ever Broadway revival of CHESS as Freddie Trumper, Florence Vassey and Anatoly Sergievsky, respectively.

Featuring a new book by Emmy Award winner Danny Strong (“Dopesick”), with music and lyrics by Emmy and Tony Award nominees ABBA’s Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus and Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award winner Tim Rice (Evita), and based on an idea by Tim Rice, this new production will be directed by Tony Award winner Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening) and choreographed by Drama Desk Award nominee Lorin Latarro (Waitress), with music supervision by Brian Usifer. CHESS will be presented by arrangement with Three Knights, The Shubert Organization and Robert Fox Ltd.

CHESS is the iconic musical where power and passion collide, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. It’s America versus Russia at the World Chess Championship, where the espionage and romance are as complicated and exhilarating as the game itself. For the two players and the woman torn between them, everything—personal, professional, and political—is at risk…and nobody’s rules are the same.

Chess will play at the Imperial Theatre on Broadway beginning October 15. 

Lesley Manville and Mark Strong

The Broadway transfer of the recent West End production of Oedipus – an adaptation created by Robert Icke, will be led by Olivier Award winner Mark Strong as ‘Oedipus' – reprising his celebrated role from the West End – and Academy Award nominee Lesley Manville – who is making her Broadway debut after garnering the Olivier Award for her performance as ‘Jocasta'.

Robert Icke – the youngest Olivier Award-winning Director in history – transforms Sophocles' epic tragedy into an essential, explosive, sensual human thriller catapulting the secrets of the past into a high-stakes present. 
It's election night. The polls predict a landslide victory. Everything is about to change.

Icke's visionary revival was nothing short of a sensation. Oedipus became an instant phenomenon and the highest-grossing limited-run production in Wyndham's history. It didn't just bring Greek tragedy back to the West End—it redefined it. This Oedipus played like a political thriller, gripping audiences in breathless suspense until its final, devastating moment.

Oedipus will begin performances on Broadway at Studio 54 on Thursday, October 30, 2025, with an opening night set for Thursday, November 13 at Studio 54 for a strictly limited 14-week engagement.

Kristin Chenoweth 

The Queen of Versailles, starring Kristin Chenoweth and F. Murray Abraham, will be directed by Tony Award winner Michael Arden with music and lyrics by Academy Award winner Stephen Schwartz, and a book by Olivier Award nominee Lindsey Ferrentino.

From computer engineer to Mrs. Florida to billionairess, Jackie Siegel sees herself as the embodiment of the American Dream. Now, as the wife of David "The Timeshare King" Siegel and mother of their eight children, they invite us to behold their most grandiose venture yet: they're building the largest private home in America in Orlando, Florida – a $100 million house big enough for her dreams and inspired by the Palace of Versailles. But with the Great Recession of 2008 looming, Jackie and David's dreams begin to crumble, along with their lavish lifestyle. The Queen of Versailles explores the true cost of fame and fortune, and one family’s pursuit of the American Dream – at any cost.

Performances will begin on Wednesday, October 8, with an opening night set for Sunday, November 9, at the St. James Theatre.
