The Full Monty<\/em> and a new play by Dominique Morriseau.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\tIn the fall, the nonprofit theatre company will stage The Imaginary Invalid<\/em>, a 17th-century comedy about hypochondria, reimagined by the actor and clown, Bill Irwin, and directed by Brandon Dirden, who appeared on Broadway in this season\u2019s Waiting For Godot.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\tIn winter 2027, Roundabout will stage Dominique Morriseau\u2019s Mix and Master,<\/em> a two-character play, starring Tony winner Ruben Santiago-Hudson and Kara Young, a two-time Tony winner who is currently appearing on Broadway in Proof. <\/em>\u00a0The play, which promises to feature live D.J. sets throughout, is set in the last record shop in the Bronx, where two D.J\u2019s from different generations battle for the shop. Kamilah Forbes, the executive producer of the Apollo Theater, is set to direct.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\tThe Full Monty <\/em>will be staged in spring 2027 at the Todd Haimes Theatre. Casting has not yet been announced for the musical, in which six unemployed steel workers decide to make money by creating their own male strip show. Leigh Silverman, who directed Yellow Face<\/em> at Roundabout last season, directs.<\/p>\n\n\tThe announcements come in a time of transition for Roundabout Theatre Company, whose longtime leader Todd Haimes died in April 2023. Christopher Ashley is set to take over as permanent director of Roundabout on July 1, while interim director Scott Ellis will stay on until Ashley begins. The two collaborated on the upcoming season.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cAs we welcome Christopher Ashley into artistic leadership, this season is a bridge, grounded in what Todd built, and intentionally making space for Chris to shape what\u2019s next,\u201d Ellis said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThe season Scott and I have shaped builds on what Roundabout has always believed: that theatre can hold the classic and the urgent side by side. We\u2019re proud to have new work anchoring our season, even as we revisit a landmark comedy with fresh eyes and make room for a big, unabashedly entertaining musical,\u201d Ashley said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
