LAURA BENANTI: NOBODY CARES is Coming to The Huntington
This North American tour will run at the Calderwood Pavilion from Thursday, October 22 to Sunday, October 25, 2026.
The Huntington will host the one-woman comedy show, Laura Benanti: Nobody Cares, starring and created by Tony Award winner Laura Benanti and directed by Annie Tippe with music direction and songs co-written by Todd Almond. Produced by rigor + ruckus, Jenny Gersten, and Ashley Melone & Nick Mills, this North American tour will run at the Calderwood Pavilion from Thursday, October 22 to Sunday, October 25, 2026.
Direct from an acclaimed run at Edinburgh Fringe and two sold-out Off-Broadway engagements comes Laura Benanti: Nobody Cares, a one-woman comedy show from the mind of Tony Award winner Laura Benanti. Known for her dazzling Broadway performances and razor-sharp wit, Benanti takes the stage to share her hilarious, heartfelt, and sometimes brutally honest takes on motherhood, people pleasing, and the joys of aging. Blending side-splitting storytelling with original songs, New York Times Critic's Pick Nobody Cares is a love letter to recovering people pleasers, mothers, and anybody working on themselves.
“I talk about my journey… being an ingenue to being a recovering ingenue; my people pleasing recovery program,” says star and creator Laura Benanti. “This is not a play. This has original comedy songs... but it really is just a conversation between me and the audience. It's most akin to standup comedy. I want this to feel like a warm blanket. Just 62 minutes where I get to make you laugh.”
Laura Benanti: Nobody Cares is part of The Huntington Selects, a series of curated touring productions The Huntington partners with to bring exciting and unique experiences to Boston audiences.
