Off Broadway’s new hit about love, faith, and Brooklyn is “absorbing, twisty, and thoughtful—and the finest play of the year” (The Wall Street Journal).
In The Wanderers, two couples from very different worlds face the joys and challenges of commitment, culture, and community—until a surprise email from a movie star puts one of their marriages to an unexpected test. Now extended through April 2 only, this “perfectly cast, superlative Roundabout Theatre Company production” (as The Wall Street Journal goes on to say), asks the vital question, Can we ever be happy with what we have while we have it?
"This absorbing, twisty, and thoughtful play is the finest play of the year!" – Charles Isherwood, The Wall Street Journal
“A charming, deeply moving new play—it sparkles!” – Elysa Gardner, New York Sun
“The Wanderers lasts only 105 minutes, yet effectively and expertly holds enough storylines for a half dozen lesser plays.” – Robert Hoffler, The Wrap

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Wanderers
THEATER REVIEW FEB. 16, 2023 In The Wanderers, Love Complicated by Page and Screen
6 / 10
It’s hard to say too much about the premise of Anna Ziegler’s The Wanderers without spoiling the primary enjoyment you get from it, which is learning how exactly Ziegler has entwined her characters, her plot unfolding like a kid’s paper fortune teller. The frustration in the Roundabout’s staging is that it doesn’t keep up with the script. The director, Barry Edelstein, takes a steady, dutiful approach to something that is trying to reach toward more abstract reckoning, and by the end, the staging starts to do it a disservice.
‘The Wanderers’ Off Broadway Review: A Woody Allen-Tinged Character Pursues Katie Holmes on the Internet
7 / 10
“The Wanderers” lasts only 105 minutes without intermission, and yet effectively holds enough storylines for a half dozen lesser plays. We never meet Sophie’s parents, but as pieced together from what she and Esther tell us, they emerge as two of the strongest characters ever to have not graced the stage. Their life together sparkles with energy and could be a whole other play.
