Broad Strokes, a new one-woman musical comedy from Cat Cohen, with music by Cohen and David Dabbon, will premiere off-Broadway this summer following a sold out run at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Directed in NYC by Tony winner Alex Timbers, the show runs July 14-September 5, with an official opening on July 27, at the Lucille Lortel Theatre.

After suffering a stroke at 30 caused by a hole in her heart, Cohen transforms this near-death experience into a comedic, song-filled solo show about mortality, hypochondria, and the undeniable thrill of being the main character.

The production features scenic design by Derek McLane, lighting design by Jake DeGroot, costume design by Kelsey Randall, sound design by Cody Spencer, and music supervision by David Dabbon.
