The Inheritance, a critically adored and Olivier Award-winning drama for Best New Play is coming to Broadway following a successful West End run. Check out the amazing London reviews: 

•  5 Stars! “HERE IS THE PLAY OF THIS YEAR AND LAST YEAR AND QUITE POSSIBLY NEXT YEAR AS WELL.” Evening Standard
• “A GLORIOUS SAGA OF MODERN LIFE IN NEW YORK.” The Times (London) 
• “IT WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH, THEN CRY, THEN SHAKE YOUR HEAD AT ITS SHEER BRILLIANT AUDACITY.” City AM
• “THIS IS NOT SIMPLY THEATRE. THIS IS LIFE. AND, OH, HOW IT MAKES YOU WANT TO LIVE.” London Daily Express

The Inheritance is a brilliant re-envisioning of E. M. Forster’s masterpiece Howards End to contemporary New York. The Inheritance follows the interlinking lives of three generations of gay men searching for a community of their own – and a place to call home. Profoundly touching and wickedly hilarious, Matthew Lopez’s highly-anticipated two-part play asks how much we owe to those who lived and loved before us, and questions the role we must play for future generations.

Preview performances begin September 27, 2019 at the Ethyl Barrymore Theatre, 243 W 47th St. NYC with opening night on November 17, 2019. For more information and to purchase tickets, please click here.

TINA is the thrilling hit musical that arrives on Broadway this fall. The critically acclaimed new musical based on the life of Tina Turner transfers from London with Tony & Olivier Award nominee Adrienne Warren reprising her role as the legendary artist.

The show received RAVE REVIEWS from London:

From humble beginnings in Nutbush, Tennessee, to her transformation into the global Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Tina Turner didn’t just break the rules, she rewrote them. This new stage musical reveals the untold story of a woman who dared to defy the bounds of her age, gender and race.

“Kleptocracy is the most dangerous play at Arena Stage this season,” shares Artistic Director Molly Smith. “Dangerous because playwright Kenneth Lin has taken us right into the heart of greed, manipulation and the rise of the wealthy and Putin in Russia in the ’90s and ’00s. It’s a fascinating prism through which to examine our relationship with Russia in the United States right now.”

Making their Arena Stage debuts, Max Woertendyke (Broadway’s A View From the Bridge, The Public Theatre’s Illyria) portrays Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the leader of the Oligarchs, and Christopher Geary (Geffen Playhouse’s These Paper Bullets!) plays a young, ladder-climbing Vladimir Putin.

“As a child growing up during the last of the Cold War, Russia, ever-present in our national consciousness, was always the ultimate, dangerous other – the funhouse reflection of everything that happens if you don’t buy into standard Western mores of politics, economics and philosophy. But, what you see in the funhouse mirror is still your own reflection,” explains Lin. “A work of fiction inspired by actual events, Kleptocracy tells the tragedy of how the West and Eurasia were nearly reconciled in the 1990s and the early aughts, but ultimately failed. The wake of that tragedy is the world in which we currently reside.”

He continues, “I cannot think of a theater and a city that are better to receive the first incarnation of this play than Arena Stage and Washington, D.C. Politics has been a central character in so much of my creative life. I am thrilled that it’s all finally coming together in Kleptocracy.”

Kleptocracy runs January 18 – February 24, 2019 in the Kreeger Theater, Washington, DC. For more information and to purchase tickets, please click here.
