Overview
- Producers announced a starry principal cast led by Julia Louis-Dreyfus with Ed Harris, Allison Janney, Joe Keery and Lily Rabe and named Tony winner John Benjamin Hickey as director.
- The limited run at the Hudson Theatre is scheduled for previews beginning September 29, an October 18 opening night, and a planned closing on January 17, 2027, with an Amex presale starting May 27 and general on-sale June 3.
- The creative team includes scenic designer Scott Pask, costume designer Tom Broecker, lighting designer Natasha Katz, sound designer and composer Mikaal Sulaiman, and hair and wig designer Robert Pickens.
- The production is backed by a commercial producing consortium — including ATG Productions and Bad Robot Live — reflecting a trend of short, star-driven Broadway engagements that concentrate audience demand.
- Other Desert Cities, which premiered at Lincoln Center in 2011 and was a 2012 Pulitzer Prize finalist, returns for its first Broadway revival because producers and creatives say its themes about memory, legacy and political division remain resonant.
