The previously announced upcoming Broadway run of Stephen Karam's new play The Humans will begin performances at the Helen Hayes Theatre on January 23 with an official opening on February 18, producers have revealed. The news comes on the heals of a closing notice from the theater's current tenant, Dames at Sea.
The Humans, which is currently running at Roundabout Theatre Company's Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre, follows Erik (played by Tony nominee Reed Birney), who has broken with tradition and brought his Pennsylvania family to celebrate Thanksgiving at his daughter's apartment in lower Manhattan. As darkness falls, family tensions reach a peak, and the heart and horrors of the clan are exposed. Cassie Beck, Jayne Houdyshell, Lauren Klein, Arian Moayed, and Sarah Steele complete the off-Broadway company. The full off-Broadway company will move to Broadway.
Joe Mantello directs the production, which features a creative team made up of David Zinn (sets), Sarah Laux (costumes), Justin Townsend (lighting), and Fitz Patton (sound). The Roundabout production runs through December 27.
