Julie Halston, Ann Harada, Jackie Hoffman and Anika Larsen to Star in FINDING DOROTHY PARKER

The production will be directed by five-time Tony Award nominee Douglas Carter Beane.

Finding Dorothy Parker, an evening celebrating the wit and wisdom of Dorothy Parker, will play a week-long return engagement, January 15 – 22, 2026 at The Laurie Beechman Theatre at West Bank Café.

Compiled and directed by five-time Tony Award nominee Douglas Carter Beane, the evening features an all-star ensemble of Broadway favorites: Tony Award honoree Julie Halston (Tootsie, You Can’t Take It With You), Ann Harada (Avenue Q, Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella), Jackie Hoffman (Hairspray, The Addams Family, Xanadu), and Tony Award nominee Anika Larsen (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, Rent). Finding Dorothy Parker  plays January 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21 and 22 at 7PM, with a 2PM matinee on January 18.

Finding Dorothy Parker is a sparkling revue and whirlwind tour of Dorothy Parker’s hilarious and wise material performed by some of the funniest women on Broadway. Dorothy Parker was the razor-sharp wit of the Roaring Twenties, a cocktail-sipping literary firecracker who made her mark with her words and her style. Parker’s dazzling wit graced the pages of Vanity Fair (where she was a staff writer and theater critic), The New Yorker (where she was one of its earliest contributors), Vogue, Life, The Saturday Evening Post, and her short stories, poems, and reviews have been collected into several books. Whether she was penning scathing reviews, unforgettable one-liners, or melancholic poetry, Parker’s unapologetic brilliance and biting humor made her a legend. Dorothy Parker - An intoxicating mix of biting social commentary and campy fabulousness that continues to sparkle like a glass of champagne. 

Finding Dorothy Parker features music by composer Alistair Wroe (Prince Faggot at Playwrights Horizon, choreography by Jeffrey Guggliotti, and musical direction by Brad Simmons
