As “Conrad Birdie”
Directed and Choreographed by Robert Longbottom
The exuberant rock n' roll smash hit returns to Broadway for the first time in almost 50 years! It's 1960, and hip-swingin' teen idol Conrad Birdie has been drafted into the army. But don't worry girls! His manager Albert has cooked up a plan to send him off with a swell new song and one last kiss from a lucky teenage fan...on “The Ed Sullivan Show”! Featuring a score with more pop than a pack of bubble gum, including “A Lot of Livin' to Do,” “Kids,” and “Put on a Happy Face,” it's impossible to resist the charms of this Tony Award®-winning musical! – more about the show >>

Broadway Premiere
created and performed by Carrie Fisher
directed by Tony Taccone
Legendary actress, author and tabloid sensation Carrie Fisher boldly takes her sensationally bizarre life story to the Broadway stage. In Wishful Drinking, Carrie divulges all the highs and lows of life as a Hollywood princess, including her battles with depression, mental illness and any number of addictions, affairs and breakdowns...and whatever else she can still remember. The child of Hollywood inbreeding and the poster child of male teenage fantasies, Carrie bares all in what she describes as an embarrassingly intimate account of her all-too-eventful existence. Part performance, part confession and all kinds of crazy, Wishful Drinking is both a juicy celebrity tell-all and a hilariously intoxicating theatrical event.

Sienna Miller (Factory Girl) and Jonny Lee Miller (Trainspotting) make their Broadway debuts in this provocative American premiere.

Young Miss Julie crosses a dangerous line when she engages in a forbidden flirtation with her father's handsome chauffeur, John. Over the course of one passionate and unforgettable night, their steamy affair escalates into a high-stakes power struggle that takes a shocking turn. Tony Award® nominee Marin Ireland (Reasons To Be Pretty) stars as John's intended, Christine, and Mark Brokaw directs.

New York Premiere
by Theresa Rebeck
directed by Scott Ellis
The star he's working with doesn't get the play. The disgruntled stage manager happens to be his bitter ex-fiancé. The set technician is high. Just another day in the life of an understudy. The most thankless job in theatre takes center stage in Theresa Rebeck's bitingly funny new look at the underbelly of the acting world. Through the course of a dress rehearsal, we glimpse all the genius, bitterness and ridiculousness that underscore a life in showbiz. Tony Award® winner Julie White (The Little Dog Laughed) returns to Roundabout alongside Mark-Paul Gosselaar (TNT's “Raising the Bar”) and Justin Kirk (Showtime's “Weeds”) in this delightfully original New York premiere, directed by Scott Ellis (Twelve Angry Men).

JULIE WHITE (Roxanne)
The design team included Alexander Dodge (Sets), Tom Broecker (Costumes), Kenneth Posner (Lights), Obadiah Eaves (Original Music & Sound).
