Closing Soon on Broadway

Oedipus (Broadway, 2/8/2026)
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.

Closing Soon Off-Broadway

The Opening (Off-Bway, 2/8/2026)
The Opening is loosely inspired by a viral meme that emerged from the shocking 2022 chess scandal, in which a chess player was wrongfully accused of cheating via a vibrating buttplug. In The Opening, Newton Anderson, a 17-year-old chess prodigy, is facing the greatest player in the world: Carson Marlsen. With international notoriety and $100,000 on the line, Newton and his clueless Best Friend, Jim, hatch an...unconventional...plan to cheat. Hilarious hijinks ensue. As the Chess World Championship looms, this bro-comedy meets coming-of-age story asks audiences: just how far would you be willing to go for a dream?

King Lear (Off-Bway, 2/8/2026)
Shakespeare's classic drama about a King who loses everything-including his mind-when he disowns his favorite daughter, and finds himself betrayed in return.

High Spirits (Off-Bway, 2/15/2026)
What happens when death doesn’t do you part? A novelist is about to find out when the eccentric Madame Arcati summons the ghost of his ex-wife in this hilarious, brassy, eight-time Tony-nominated musical adaptation of Noël Coward’s well-loved play, Blithe Spirit.

The Honey Trap (Off-Bway, 2/15/2026)
Belfast, 1979. At the height of the Troubles, two off-duty British soldiers think they’ve hit it off with two local girls at a unionist pub on the city’s outskirts. But what begins as a night of flirtation and playful sparring soon turns dark. Decades later, as one of the soldiers recounts the events for an American oral history project, long-buried memories resurface, drawing him back to Belfast in search of answers and revenge.

An Ideal Husband (Off-Bway, 2/21/2026)
In Oscar Wilde's brilliantly witty comedy, fate catches up to politician Robert Chiltern when a mysterious woman produces a letter revealing a past misdeed. Is this a public scandal or private shame? One of the more serious of Wilde's social comedies, "An Ideal Husband" focuses on the often corrupt underpinnings of wealth and power, how information and knowledge in politics hold sway, and how public and personal morality can collide. "An Ideal Husband" also takes a good-natured poke at the institution of marriage, asking us if it is it truly possible to try to have an "ideal" marriage. In the end, Wilde's message is surprisingly benign: only love really matters, only love will lead to happiness.

Just Desserts: A Musical Bake-Off (Off-Bway, 2/22/2026)
In JUST DESSERTS: A Musical Bake-Off, we meet a variety of contestants: A determined young woman dreaming of opening her own bakery. A twice-divorced nail technician who wants to fit in with her new boyfriend’s circle of friends. A shy school nurse who is torn between family obligations and a desire to participate. A mysterious man from Brooklyn who arouses suspicion about his past. And the reigning champion who disguises her ruthless drive to win with smiles and pleasantries. Who will win? Who will lose? Who will get their Just Desserts?

The Disappear (Off-Bway, 2/22/2026)
Power couple Benjamin Braxton and Mira Blair see their picture-perfect life go gloriously off script—taking their friends, affairs, and daughter along for the ride. Written and directed by Erica Schmidt, The Disappear peels back the curtain on fame, ambition, marriage and reinvention in a smoldering comedy about how keeping it together sometimes means letting it all go.

Hans Litten: The Jew Who Cross-Examined Hitler (Off-Bway, 2/22/2026)
Based on a remarkable true story, Hans Litten centers on the brilliant young Jewish lawyer who, in 1931, did the seemingly impossible: he called Adolf Hitler to the witness stand and publicly exposed the future dictator’s embrace of political violence, two years before Hitler rose to power. It remains one of the most audacious legal confrontations of the 20th century. The play moves from the charged atmosphere of Berlin courtrooms to the brutal reality of Nazi concentration camps, tracing Litten’s unwavering commitment to justice, reason, and human dignity. Refusing to remain silent in the face of rising authoritarianism, Litten risks and ultimately sacrifices his life for the rule of law. At once intellectually thrilling and emotionally devastating, Hans Litten: The Jew Who Cross-Examined Hitler is a powerful reminder of how fragile democracy can be, and how profound the impact of individual moral courage remains. As questions of justice, truth, and authoritarianism reverberate across the modern world, Litten’s story feels not only urgent but essential.
