The reviews are in for Broadways Appropriate!
The play officially opened on December 18, 2023
Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' acclaimed comedic drama had its previews at the Hayes Theater on November 29, 2023, before opening on December 18, 2023. The play follows a dysfunctional family picking up the pieces of their recently-passed father's estate in Arkansas. Uncovering the past brings up age-old resentment that they'll have to work through. Starring Emmy-winning actor Sarah Paulson, Elle Fanning, Corey Stoll, and many more stars, the reviews are in, and the critics have a lot to say; this may be the play of 2023!
