Overview
- The New Group’s revival opened Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at the Theater at St. Clement’s as the company’s first show in its new space, led by Daphne Rubin-Vega, Jennifer Tilly, Sarita Choudhury, and Michael Cyril Creighton.
- Thomas Bradshaw’s revision trims Elmer L. Rice’s large-cast play to four performers and adds a narrator role that folds in many characters.
- Early notices split on the production, with steady praise for the cast and for Derek McLane’s set, Catherine Zuber’s period costumes, and Jeff Croiter’s lighting, and with recurring critiques of slow pacing and some staging choices.
- Reviewers note how the story of a clerk replaced by a machine lands with fresh relevance for audiences worried about automation and AI today.
- The limited engagement now lists performances through May 17 after earlier materials noted a May 10 end date.
