This Fall is a hot season for theatre in NYC. Both on Broadway and off, new shows are popping up all over the place, setting the theatre world a buzz. One major trend is the influx of A-list film and television stars hitting the stage. We know you love drama in your wardrobe and on the runway, but do you love it on the stage? If you do, you are in luck!

One of the most talked about shows this season stars Michael Cera, who has one our hearts on the big screen for years. This Is Our Youth is a quirky, dark-humored play about a trio of privileged teens who are directionless and wandering through their youth. Kieran Culkin and Tevi Gevinson star alongside Michael Cera to complete the group. If you are looking for light-hearted, feel-good show tunes, this might not be the production for you. But if you’re looking for something new and different, give it a shot! The show is only on for a limited time; it opened on September 11th and closes on Jan 4th.

The revival, You Can’t Take It With You, starring James Earl Jones, is definitely a great option if you are looking for class big broadway with glamour and tunes for days.

It’s Only a Play

One of the newest plays on broadways, It’s Only a Play, reintroduces on of our favorite duos, Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane. They enchanted audiences in both The Producers and The Odd Couple, and yet again, they will not disappoint. Two other major names join them on the stage: Stockard Channing and Ruper Grint. This is show is perfect for theatre nerds, though not exclusively. The dialogue is riddled with theatre jokes that any actor, actress, director, or writer would appreciate.
