Another notable return is Tom Felton, reprising his film role as Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, marking his Broadway debut.
Upcoming productions also promise star power, including the revival of Yasmina Reza’s Art, featuring James Corden and Neil Patrick Harris, and Dog Day Afternoon with Jon Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
With established Broadway talent such as Audra McDonald, currently leading Gypsy, and Nicole Scherzinger taking on Sunset Boulevard, audiences can anticipate high-caliber performances anchored in musical theatre tradition.
The season also showcases new works boasting fresh faces. Darren Criss stars as a robot in Maybe Happy Ending, and Sadie Sink returns to Broadway in John Proctor Is the Villain.
Significant revivals feature Jonathan Groff in Just in Time, and Orville Peck making his debut as the Emcee in the iconic Cabaret. Moreover, the summer promises a spectacular Twelfth Night under Shakespeare in the Park, featuring Lupita Nyong’o and Peter Dinklage.
