Meteor Shower is a hilarious new play written by the comedic legend, Steve Martin. Meteor Shower will feature the Broadway debut of film and television mega-star, Amy Schumer, film and television star Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele), two-time Tony Award winner Laura Benanti, and film and television star Alan Tudyk (Dodgeball). The show will be directed by multi-Tony and Drama Desk Award Winner Jerry Zaks (current director of the current smash hit, Hello Dolly!).
Meteor Shower follows a woman and her husband (Schumer and Tudyk) who invite over an intense couple (Key and Benanti) to watch a meteor shower in their Ojai, CA yard in 1993 – until things take a turn for the surreal. These friends aren’t looking for a casual evening of polite small talk with new friends. Eventually, the two couples find themselves in a marital free-fall matched in velocity and peril only by the smoldering space rocks tearing through the sky. Entertaining has never been more entertaining than in this cosmic comedy from the master of the American absurd.
Performances at the Booth Theatre, 222 West 45th Street, New York City. For more information and to purchase tickets, please click here.
