Dirden is directing the new production. Previews start September 25. The show officially opens October 22 alongside a stacked Off-Broadway calendar.

Scott Ellis Bridges The Leadership Gap
The 60th season carries heavy institutional weight. It acts as a direct response to a massive internal transition. Interim Artistic Director Scott Ellis called this exact lineup a “bridge” season. It honors the foundation built by the late Todd Haimes while giving Christopher Ashley room to take the reins.
Ashley steps into the permanent artistic director role soon. The programming choices specifically leave the door open for his future creative control. Roundabout is securing its legacy properties while clearing the runway for a new era of leadership.
