Don’t miss the limited engagement of The Heiress on Broadway. From now until February 9th, you can see this Tony and Academy Award winning Broadway production.
I had the pleasure of seeing this production with fellow NYC bloggers thanks to MamaDrama and Have to Have.
It is truly a remarkable show. Filled with so many emotions. Money, love and regret are central themes that hold you to your seat . I felt for Catherine as her suitor disappointed her in so many ways. I felt for her as her relationship with her father unraveled and one finds out that she never knew her mother.
Although Jessica Chastain was busy at the Golden Globes for Zero Dark Thirty, her understudy also did an amazing job portraying the Heiress.
Here are some details about this Broadway hit:
THE HEIRESS is the story of Catherine Sloper, the shy and sheltered daughter of a prominent New Yorker. Caught between the demands of an emotionally distant father and the attentions of a passionate young suitor, Catherine must navigate the terrain of love and regret, desire and duty, a chance for happiness and the burden of fortune…as only an heiress can.
Jessica Chastain (Academy Award® nominee for The Help) makes her Broadway debut alongside David Strathairn (Academy Award® nominee for Good Night, and Good Luck), Dan Stevens (Matthew Crawley on Downton Abbey) and Judith Ivey (two-time Tony Award® winner), in the Tony Award®-winning play, THE HEIRESS. Written by Ruth and Augustus Goetz and directed by Tony Award®-nominated playwright and director Moisés Kaufman, this compelling drama will run for an 18-week limited engagement.
The world of THE HEIRESS is brought to life by a dynamic design team that includes two-time Tony Award® winner Derek McLane (sets), two-time Academy Award® winner Albert Wolsky (costumes), Tony Award® nomineeDavid Lander (lighting), Tony Award® nominee Leon Rothenberg (sound design) and original music by Peter Golub.
Walter Kerr Theatre Box Office, 219 West 48th Street, between Broadway & 8th Avenue.
I’m so sad Ill miss it!!
NYC bound from CA in march.
This looks like an amazing show. I know my mom would love to see it!
Sounds well worth seeing even without Jessica being there. There truly is nothing like a show.
I’m so jealous you can see shows on Broadway! This sounds like one I’d see too!
I have never been able to attend a broadway show but this looks exactly my style.
SO fun! I’ve never been to a Broadway show, but I have a friend who was just looking for something to see in NY!
I’d never heard of this show, sounds interesting. I really Like Chastain and David Strathairn
Awww, fun! I love Broadway shows. I’ve had the pleasure of being in NYC twice. This looks awesome!
