The current Off-Broadway run of the Olivier Award-winning smash-hit, Vanya, starring Olivier Award winner Andrew Scott has recouped its initial investment. Having opened on March 18 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre (121 Christopher Street), this new adaptation of Chekhov's play, co-created by Mr. Scott, adaptor Simon Stephens, designer Rosanna Vize and director Sam Yates, has played to sold out audiences every performance after opening to rave reviews.
Vanya's final performance will be on Sunday, May 11.
Anton Chekhov's timeless masterpiece has captivated audiences and influenced dramatists for more than 125 years, thanks to the emotional depth and subtle humor it brings to the exploration of unfulfilled dreams, existential yearning, and the complexities of human relationships. A trove of history's greatest stage stars, including Laurence Olivier, Ian McKellen, and Peter O'Toole, have tackled its titular character. None of them played every role...until now.
Vanya stars Olivier Award-winning actor Andrew Scott, who is reprising his wildly acclaimed performance. Marianna Gailus serves as Scott's understudy. Mr. Scott co-created this Olivier Award-winning production with adaptor Simon Stephens, designer Rosanna Vize and director Sam Yates. In addition to Ms. Vize, the design team for Vanya includes lighting design by James Farncombe, sound design by Dan Balfour, video design by Jack Phelan, physicality by Michela Meazza, and costume design by Natalie Pryce. Vanya is Executive Produced by Wagner Johnson Productions.
