A Broadway revival of Jon Robin Baitz’s family drama Other Desert Cities will feature Julia Louis-Dreyfus in her first Broadway appearance. The production begins previews September 29 at the Hudson Theatre, with an October 18 opening and a limited run scheduled through January 17, 2027. Tony winner John Benjamin Hickey will direct. The story follows a politically connected Palm Springs family whose public image fractures when a daughter returns with a memoir that threatens to reveal long-buried secrets. Louis-Dreyfus plays Polly, Ed Harris plays Lyman, Allison Janney plays Silda, Lily Rabe plays Brooke, and Joe Keery makes his Broadway debut as Trip. The production includes award-winning design and technical teams.
"The Veep and Seinfeld Emmy winner will make her Broadway debut in the first Broadway revival of Jon Robin Baitz's acclaimed family drama Other Desert Cities, boasting a cast that already looks like an awards-season fantasy draft: Ed Harris, Allison Janney, Lily Rabe and Joe Keery."
"Other Desert Cities centers on a politically connected Palm Springs family whose carefully maintained façade begins to crack when a daughter returns home with a memoir that threatens to expose long-buried family secrets. The original production earned five Tony Award nominations and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama; Judith Light took home the Tony for her performance."
"Louis-Dreyfus will play Polly, the family's matriarch, married to Lyman (Harris). Janney will play Polly's sister Silda, the role that won Light a Tony Award, while Rabe portrays Polly and Lyman's daughter, Brooke, and Stranger Things star Keery will make his own Broadway debut as Trip."
"The production will begin previews on September 29 at Broadway's Hudson Theatre ahead of an October 18 opening night. The limited engagement is currently scheduled to run through January 17, 2027. Tony winner John Benjamin Hickey will direct."
