Overview
- Roundabout’s revival, which opened Sunday at the Todd Haimes Theatre, begins a limited engagement scheduled through June 7.
- The production stars Rose Byrne and Kelli O’Hara as longtime friends in a farce of desire, with Mark Consuelos making his Broadway debut as the charismatic visitor.
- Scott Ellis directs a period-first staging on David Rockwell’s elegant drawing room set with Jeff Mahshie’s 1920s couture-inspired costumes.
- Early reviews highlight the show’s slapstick tilt and the leads’ physical comedy, with some noting a slow warm-up before laughs crest during an extended drunken scene.
- This first Broadway revival in about 70 years runs 90 minutes without intermission, shaped with additional material by Claudia Shear.
