Until July 2, 2023

Nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Leading Actress in a Play (Jodie Comer) and winner of two Drama Desk awards. Following her West End debut, Killing Eve star Jodie Comer makes her Broadway bow in the Great White Way transfer of this emotional one-hander. As in her Olivier-winning performance in London, she plays Tessa, a brilliant and driven young barrister forced to confront the differences between legal imperatives and moral obligations.

The Shark is Broken

July 25 - November 19, 2023

Following sell-out success at the Edinburgh Festival and London's West End, this hit comedy, written by Joseph Nixon and Ian Shaw (son of Robert) finally transfers Broadway. Based on Robert Shaw's own drinking diaries during the shoot, we learn how the trio, fuelled by alcohol and ambition, passed the time bullying, bickering, and bragging while sitting out the interminable delays caused by their Great White co-star.

John Golden Theater

venue exterior

252 West 45th St, New York, NY 10036

  • Year opened: 1927
  • Capacity: 804
  • Disabled access
  • In-house bar

Originally built as the Theatre Masque in 1927, this venue has also moonlighted as a film set in the films A Chorus Line, as well as providing the backdrop to the shadowy opening scene in the Academy Award-winning All About Eve. One of the smallest of the Broadway theatres, it was acquired from the Chanin brothers in 1937 by theater impresario John Golden who promptly named it after himself. Built in the Moorish style, this theatre is famed for having a good sightline to the stage from all of its 800 seats.
