Productions under consideration:

BROADWAY PREMIERE
TWELVE ANGRY MEN
by Reginald Rose
Directed by Scott Ellis
In its first-ever Broadway production, this searing courtroom drama stars Tony and Emmy Award winner Philip Bosco (Lend Me a Tenor; New York Critics’ Circle Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre) as one of 12 steadfast jurors deliberating what seems to be an open-and-shut case. As prejudices are tested and evidence weighed, the entire jury is forced to look past the show of the courtroom to unearth the shocking truth.

FIRST BROADWAY REVIVAL
B.D. Wong in
PACIFIC OVERTURES
Book by John Weidman
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Directed by Amon Miyamoto
Following this season’s triumphant production of Assassins, Roundabout presents another landmark musical by Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman. Tony Award winner B.D. Wong (M. Butterfly) stars in this brilliant tale of a culture clash sparked by America’s 1853 mission to Westernize Japan. A show of sheer theatrical genius, Pacific Overtures features Sondheim’s most daring music—an adventurous blend of Broadway razzle-dazzle and pure Eastern beauty. Visionary Japanese director Amon Miyamoto brings a fresh perspective to this American musical masterpiece.

BROADWAY PREMIERE
FOOL FOR LOVE
by Sam Shepard
Pulitzer Prize winner Sam Shepard’s sexually charged opus takes place on the barren edge of the Mojave Desert, where two lovers, holed up in a seedy motel, battle for absolute power in their love-hate affair. Passion rages into the wee hours, until the tragic secret behind their attraction is revealed, proving how dangerously simple it is for anyone to become a fool for love.

Natasha Richardson in
A STREETCAR
NAMED DESIRE

by Tennessee Williams
Last seen on Roundabout Theatre Company’s stage in her Tony Award-winning performance in Cabaret, Natasha Richardson returns in one of the greatest roles in American drama: Blanche DuBois, the washed-out Southern belle whose illusions of a better life are crudely destroyed by her brutishly sensual brother-in-law. The Pulitzer Prize-winning A Streetcar Named Desire is Tennessee Williams’ paramount theatrical masterpiece, sure to be the dramatic event of the spring season.

WORLD PREMIERE
FOR REELE
by Stephen Belber
From hot new playwright Stephen Belber (Match) comes a provocative new drama that stares down the blind spots of society’s judicial system. When an African-American man is released from prison, exonerated from an 18-year-old murder, his sympathetic past and magnetic persona catapult him into the front-running spot of a local senate election. But as his public approval ratings skyrocket, the secret he buried 18 years earlier threatens to surface and destroy everything.
