More Appropriate: This means all the theaters on Broadway will be occupied at the end of the season–except one. The Lyceum has no prospective tenant since My Son’s a Queer (But What Can You Do?), Rob Madge’s autobiographical solo show from the West End, has postponed its Broadway run there. The piece is expected to open during the 2024-25 season.

2023-24 Broadway Season Breakdown: New Musicals: Play Revivals: Musical Revivals: Solos/Specialties: Alex Edelman: Just for Us [END]
The Second Stage revival of Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’s Appropriate will be moving from the Hayes Theater (to make room for Paula Vogel’s Mother Play) to a limited run at the now-vacant Belasco Theater (after How to Dance in Ohio closed) from March 25 to June 23. The entire company will repeating their roles, except for Elle Fanning who has a scheduling conflict. Her replacement for the role of River will be announced in the coming weeks. The transfer will increase the play’s chances at the Tony Awards.
There still has not been a ruling if the production is a revival or a new play since the work was previously seen Off-Broadway at the Signature Theater in 2014 where it won an Obie Award. The Tonys consider only Broadway shows.
Tony and Emmy winner Kristin Chenoweth will reunite with her Wicked composer-lyricist Stephen Schwartz in the new Broadway-bound musical, Queen of Versailles, based on Lauren Greenfield’s 2012 documentary on socialite Jacqueline “Jackie” Siegel and her quest to build the largest private home in America. Queen of Versailles begins performances at Boston’s Emerson Colonial Theater on July 16 to play through Aug. 18. Oscar winner F. Murray Abraham (“Amadeus,” “The White Lotus”) will play Jackie’s husband, “Timeshare” king David Siegel.
Featuring a book by Lindsey Ferrentino (“Ugly Lies the Bone,” “Amy and the Orphans”) and direction by Tony nominee Michael Arden (Parade, Once on This Island), The Queen of Versailles will explore the cost of fame, fortune, and family.
Oscar nominee Amy Ryan (“Gone Baby Gone”) has assumed the role of Sister Aloysius in Roundabout Theater Company’s revival of John Patrick Shanley’s Doubt: A Parable. She takes over for Tyne Daly who was hospitalized on Fri. Feb. 3 and had to withdraw from the production while she receives medical care. While Daly’s condition was unspecified, it was reported she is expected to make a full recovery. Ryan’s first performance will be Tues. Feb. 13, and the opening has been pushed back to March 7. In the interim, Sister Aloysius was played the understudy, Tony nominee and Drama Desk winner Isabel Keating (The Boy from Oz).
“With respect and admiration for Tyne, we wish her the best and a quick recovery. We are grateful that Amy Ryan said yes – in a quick minute – to join our company and take on the role of ‘Sister Aloysius.’ We deeply appreciate Isabel Keating, who remarkably stepped in with a day of rehearsal and allowed us to get the production up on its feet during this first week of performances,” notes director Scott Ellis.
The cast of Doubt: A Parable also stars Tony & SAG Award winner Liev Schreiber as “Father Flynn,” Quincy Tyler Bernstine as “Mrs. Muller,” and Zoe Kazan as “Sister James.”
Ryan has received a SAG Award as part of the ensemble for “Only Murders in the Building” and was nominated for Tony Awards for A Streetcar Named Desire and Uncle Vanya, both Roundabout productions.
