Get Our Town tickets and see Emmy Award winner Jim Parsons return to Broadway and star as the Stage Manager in this beloved Thornton Wilder classic. Tony Award winner Kenny Leon stages this new production at the Barrymore Theatre that also features Zoey Deutch, Julie Halston, Katie Holmes, Ephraim Sykes, Richard Thomas, and more. Our Town tickets will be available on New York Theatre Guide soon.
Our Town on Broadway unites one of America’s most famous TV stars with one of theatre’s most acclaimed directors: Jim Parson won four Emmys for his comic turn as Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory, and director Kenny Leon won a Tony Award for A Raisin in the Sun and has three nominations for Fences, A Soldier’s Play, and, most recently, Purlie Victorious: A Non-Confederate Romp through the Cotton Patch. Together, these two titans of entertainment tell one of theatre’s greatest tales: Emily Webb and George Gibb’s love and life.
A cherished tale of marriage, loss, and community, Our Town is Thornton Wilder’s most produced play. Set between 1901 and 1913, the heartwarming story follows the townspeople of the fictional, idyllic Grover’s Corner, New Hampshire, as they go about their everyday lives. Theatrical in its use of the Stage Manger (Parsons), who serves as the narrator of this story, and its minimalist aesthetic that invites the audience to picture their own hometown, the play is endearing, brimming with life, and won Wilder a Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Since its premiere in 1938, Our Town has been adapted into TV shows, films, a musical, and opera.
Given Our Town’s enduring legacy, Edward Albee once called it "the greatest American play ever written,” and, now, it returns to Broadway. See this starry production of Our Town, and check back for tickets on New York Theatre Guide soon.
