Working with his longtime collaborator Grant Heslov, George Clooney adapts the 2005 film the two co-wrote that earned them an Academy Award nomination. Now, his performance and playwriting credit marks Clooney’s Broadway debut, which particularly excites the Hollywood A-lister. “I am honored, after all these years, to be coming back to the stage and especially, to Broadway, the art form and the venue that every actor aspires to," he said in a statement. 

He will work alongside another starry name: David Cromer, who has multiple Broadway shows under his belt plus Tony and Obie awards. A MacArthur Fellow, Cromer said of Clooney's role in a statement that “Edward R. Murrow operated from a kind of moral clarity that feels vanishingly rare in today’s media landscape. There was an immediacy in those early live television broadcasts that today can only be effectively captured on stage, in front of a live audience.”

## What to watch for

- Today, media companies are merging or dying off, leading to a more expensive, competitive, and corroding journalistic landscape. This story, then, feels prescient in what it addresses.
Joseph McCarthy has been portrayed in many works; recently, Chris Bauer played him opposite Tony winner Will Brill (*[Stereophonic](https://www.todaytix.com/nyc/shows/29539-stereophonic)*) on the TV series *Fellow Travelers*. 
- A highly decorated actor, George Clooney is a four-time Golden Globe Award winner, a two-time Academy Award winner and a 2022 Kennedy Center Honoree.
- Clooney’s wife, Amal Clooney, is a dedicated human rights lawyer whose work dovetails with themes in the play — she often advocates for wronged journalists and represents media clients.

This new play has played in Boston and Washington, DC, where it got rave reviews. The Boston Globe calling it “genuinely funny and deadly serious,” and The Washington Post said, "Not only has Kimberly Belflower ingeniously set up nuanced resonances with America’s broader civic zeitgeist, she has also written a touching, and sometimes hilarious, portrait of bracingly specific 21st-century young people."

Now, *John Proctor is the Villain* comes to Broadway, directed by Tony Award winner Danya Taymor (*[The Outsiders](https://www.todaytix.com/nyc/shows/34093-the-outsiders)*). Belflower makes her Broadway debut with her fast-rising hit. With astute observations and stinging wit, this new play puts a contemporary spin on an American classic, captures a generation on the cusp of adulthood, and gives refreshing voice to young Americans. Rethink who your heroes are, and see *John Proctor is the Villain* on Broadway.

## What to watch for
- The niece of Julie Taymor, Danya Taymor has quickly risen the ranks on Broadway, starting her career off Broadway and making a name for directing Pulitzer finalist *Heroes of the Fourth Turning*.
- Kimberly Belflower is a playwright and educator originally from a small town in Appalachian Georgia and brings that background to the setting of her new play.
- Sadie Sink has been on Broadway before, starring in *Annie* and *The Audience*.
- Boston Theater Critics Association wrote, “Look out Arthur Miller: I left as fired up as these teenage girls.”

Think you know Arthur Miller’s masterpiece? Think again: experience *John Proctor is the Villain* on Broadway to see how Belflower turns the tables on *The Crucible* with caustic humor and stinging insights. Her play asks: who gets to be the heroes in the stories we tell?

At a high school in a one stoplight town in Georgia, an English class is reading *The Crucible*. It’s a bit of a snooze — especially as the students have love, sex, and some scandals on the mind — until the students begin debating the terms of the literary classic. Perspective is subjective, and no one seems to agree on whether John Proctor is actually the hero in this story.

In her play, Belflower captures a generation on the cusp of adulthood figuring out their values while fueled by pop music, optimism, and fury — and an increasingly clear understanding that their future is not dictated by their past.

After runs in Boston and Washington, DC, the play garnered glowing reviews with The Boston Globe calling it “vibrant — genuinely funny and deadly serious.” Now, Sink returns to Broadway after appearances in *Annie* and *The Audience*. See her lead this new work — tickets to *John Proctor is the Villain* in New York ar on sale now.

*The Last Five Years* is a cherished and standout musical in that part of the story moves forward in time, while part of it moves backward. In the show, Jamie is a rising author who starts his journey looking forward to an early date with Cathy. His story moves chronologically forward, from the excitement of new romance to bitter divorce, which is where Cathy begins her story. Working backwards, Cathy moves from a place of deep melancholy to her first days with Jamie when the world, and her career as an actress, all felt before her. Somewhere along the way, the two lovers meet in the middle.

Inventive in its storytelling and bursting with a passionate score, *The Last Five Years* is a textured and singular love story. One of Jason Robert Brown's most-performed scores, songs from this show are often seen in cabaret acts and are covered by musical theatre favorites. Now, two powerhouses bring their chops to this new Broadway production.

Needing no introduction, Stephen Sondheim is one of musical theatre’s most acclaimed and Tony Award-winning composers and lyricists. His broad spectrum of work, from light-hearted farces with *A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum* to dark operettas with *Sweeney Todd* speak to his varied sensibilities and styles.

Regardless of genre, Sondheim is known for putting character first: beyond composing exquisite solos, duets, and ensemble numbers, he is adored for letting his characters figure out their emotions, motives, and futures in highly elaborate verbal musical puzzles. Sophisticated but accessible, his music has been the barometer for artistic success for generations of composers and lyricists who have followed. Now, audiences can delight in hearing his spellbinding scores sung anew at Manhattan Theatre Club’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre this season. Bernadette Peters, long associated with Sondheim after star-making turns in *Into the Woods* and later *Gypsy*, sings alongside another highly accomplished vocalist, Lea Salonga.

## What to watch for

- London reviews raved about *Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends* — [London Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/stephen-sondheims-old-friends-review-gielgud-theatre) called it a “rapturous musical tribute” in its five-star review.
- Cameron Mackintosh is most well-known as being a producer of spectacular shows, but here he gets to pay homage to a theatrical legend as a deviser of the evening’s sweeping entertainment. 
- Bernadette Peters was last on Broadway in 2018 with *Hello, Dolly!*, and now, years later, she returns, offering audiences a special treat to see the living legend back on stage.

A fan favorite and cult classic, *Smash* on NBC ran for only two seasons but had a lasting impact on viewers.

*Smash* on Broadway features an all-star team: Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson has joined the producing team after winning a Tony Award for also producing Pulitzer Prize winner *A Strange Loop*, and musical theatre writing icons Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (*Hairspray*, Tony Award) wrote the score. Rick Elice and Bob Martin (*The Drowsy Chaperone*, Tony Award) wrote the book, and Susan Stroman (*The Producers*, Tony Award) directs this production. Joshua Bergasse, who won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography for the television series, returns to Smash to choreograph the Broadway version.

Smash on Broadway - NYC - New York Theatre Guide

Let me be your star: experience *Smash* the musical in its highly-anticipated Broadway premiere. *Smash* in New York opens spring 2025 and is based on the cult TV show.

*Smash* was a TV phenomenon, running for only two seasons but leaving an indelible mark on fans. Winning an Emmy Award and enjoying Grammy and Golden Globe award nominations, the series catapulted Megan Hilty and Katharine McPhee to fame and also featured a slew of Broadway regulars, including Jeremy Jordan and Christian Borle.

Now, the show comes to Broadway, which feels particularly apt given the series was about a show…coming to Broadway. That show-within-a-show is called *Bombshell* and is based on the life of Marilyn Monroe. Actresses compete for starring roles, and soon the behind-the-scenes drama eclipses anything going on on stage. What could go wrong? Susan Stroman brings her signature razzle dazzle staging to this big musical, which features a number of hit songs from the series along with a delicious new score. Buckle up for a ferocious and fun ride as Bombshell, and *Smash*, make their long-awaited journey to Broadway.

## What to watch for

- The Grammy-nominated “Let Me Be Your Star” is just one of the many hit songs from the series that will be heard in the stage musical, which also features new songs.
- Audiences can expect familiar characters and plot points with some new ones thrown in that further flesh out the steamy relationships and cut-throat world of *Smash*.
- Movies are often adapted for the stage, but TV shows are less common additions. However, this season, *[BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical](https://www.todaytix.com/nyc/shows/39187-boop-the-betty-boop-musical)* based on the cartoon character will also be on Broadway.
- Megan Hilty, who originated the role of Ivy Lynn on TV, will also be on Broadway this year with *[Death Becomes Her](https://www.todaytix.com/nyc/shows/34895-death-becomes-her-on-broadway)*.

*Floys Collins* is a unique musical in many ways: it’s a bio-musical, one based on a real American adventurer when many today are based on the lives of pop stars. It also has a distinct bluegrass-infused score. Finally, it introduced audiences to Adam Guettel, an accomplished composer who would go on to win a Tony for *The Light in the Piazza*.

The musical is also a special reunion: bookwriter Tina Landau, a Tony nominee for directing *SpongeBob SquarePants*, also directed this original production at Playwrights Horizons. She returns now, decades after her career was just starting, to stage the show anew in a bold, thrilling production.

Most of all, the musical is cherished for its enormous heart and how it portrays media sensationalism as Floyd Collins’ disappearance into a cave sparked one of the nation’s first true media storms — here, all woven together by a gorgeous, heart-stopping score.

## What to watch for

- Adam Guettel, the composer, has a rich musical theatre history: he is the grandson of Richard Rodgers.
- Floyd Collins was a part of the “Kentucky Cave Wars,” when spelunkers and property owners competed to exploit the bounty of caves for commercial profit from tourists.
- At the Obie Awards, the original off-Broadway show was given the award for Best Music.
- Ben Brantley, in his review for The New York Times, wrote, “Mr. Guettel establishes himself as a young composer of strength and sophistication.”

Get *Floyd Collins* tickets and see Adam Guettel’s sweeping, elegiac, and utterly singular musical finally come to Broadway starting this spring. Based on the life of American cave explorer Floyd Collins, the musical of the same name premiered at Playwrights Horizons in the 1990s, became a classic, but has never been seen on Broadway: until now.

Only heaven knows how glory goes, as Floyd sings in the finale of this remarkable, transcendent musical. Featuring a bluegrass-inspired score unlike many heard in musical theatre, and directed by visionary Tony Award nominee Tina Landau, who also wrote the book, *Floyd Collins* is a cult favorite thanks to its unique, true-life story and beautiful score. 

Winner of the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical, *Floyd Collins* has endured thanks to its legendary cast album. A bio-musical about a cave explorer in Kentucky, 1925, Floyd Collins chased a dream of fame and fortune by turning Sand Cave into a tourist attraction, but he himself becomes the attraction when he gets trapped 200 feet underground. A media whirlwind followed, along with a stunning story of enduring resilience and humanity. With limited access to the outside world, Floyd fights for his sanity, and his life.

A haunting musical from the artist behind *The Light in the Piazza*, this show will bring Landau back to her roots: she was the original off-Broadway director for the piece and returns to stage it anew. Come along for a tale about the American dream, media sensationalism, and how everyone has a story to tell.
