Broadway’s hit thriller. Now extended through Oct 27.
Following two extended, sold-out downtown engagements, Max Wolf Friedlich’s play Job is now this summer’s “chic, relentless Broadway thriller. Job is extremely effective, often funny, with excellent performances.” – The New York Times
After being placed on leave following a viral incident, Jane would do anything to return to her Big Tech–company job. But as the therapist who needs to authorize it, Loyd suspects her work might be doing more harm than good.
Starring Tony Award® nominee Peter Friedman (Ragtime, “Succession”) and Sydney Lemmon (Tár, “Fear the Walking Dead”), “Job is very provocative, stimulating, and daring—you won’t be bored for a millisecond” (Chicago Tribune). Don’t miss this “electrifying” (Variety), on Broadway through October 27 only.

Review | ‘Job’ vacancy in latest Off-Broadway hit trying to make it big on Broadway
4 / 10
Regretfully, I did not see “Job” during its earlier runs, and I suspect that it was probably more exciting to see it in a more intimate downtown space. On Broadway, the production (as directed by Michael Herwitz) looks empty and the play feels underwritten. It dumps compelling societal concerns upon us, leaves them unexplored, and relies structurally on an uninspired starting point (i.e. confessing to a therapist) and gimmicks.
Plot Twists, Slick and Surreal: Job and Six Characters
4 / 10
The first time I saw the play, crammed like a sardine right up near the performers at the SoHo Playhouse, the final moments left me with a sickly feeling like the space had filled with poison gas. I’m all for feel-bad theater, but if it’s not precisely concocted, you quickly develop an immunity. A few days after seeing Job then, the poison had passed through me, and I found myself not thinking much about the drama at all. Seeing Job again on Broadway, I didn’t experience the same queasiness when the twist arrived. Maybe the experience suffered because I didn’t have the same physical proximity to the performers. But I also sensed that the play, like a particular kind of internet edgelord, was throwing out shock value to protect itself from having to dig deeper.
