Here There Are Blueberries on Broadway Will Star Kathleen Chalfant, Scott Barrow, and Delia Cunningham

Full casting has been announced for the Broadway run of Tectonic Theater Project’s hit play Here There Are Blueberries at the Barrymore Theatre. The 80-performance run begins November 2 in advance of a November 9 opening.

Co-written by Moisés Kaufman and Amanda Gronich and conceived and directed by Kaufman, Here There Are Blueberries was named a 2024 Pulitzer Prize Finalist for Drama. Its New York premiere was at New York Theatre Workshop, where it became the highest-grossing production in the theater’s history.

From the off-Broadway mounting, Scott Barrow and Kathleen Chalfant will reprise their performances as Karl Höcker and Judy Cohen, respectively. They will be joined by Blueberries tour star Delia Cunningham as Rebecca Erbelding, Michelle Beck as Charlotte Schünzel, Michael Cerveris as Peter Wirths, Brandon Flynn as Rainer Höss, Montego Glover as Melita Maschmann, and Conrad Ricamora as Tilman Taube.

Rounding out the cast as understudies are production alums Jeanne Sakata, Anna Shafer, Marrick Smith, and Grant James Varjas.

In 2007, a mysterious album featuring Nazi-era photographs arrived at the desk of a US Holocaust Memorial Museum archivist. As curators unraveled the shocking truth behind the images, the album soon made headlines and ignited a debate that reverberated far beyond the museum walls. Based on real events, the play is about historical photographs and what they reveal about the perpetrators of the Holocaust and humanity.

The creative team features scenic designer Derek McLane, costume designer Dede Ayite, lighting designer David Lander, sound designer Bobby McElver, projection designer David Bengali, and dramaturg Amy Marie Seidel.

Here There Are Blueberries recieved a workshop production at Miami New Drama in 2018, before officially debuting in 2022 at La Jolla Playhouse. It also played runs at Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, the McCarter in New Jersey, the Wallis Annenberg Center and Berkeley Rep in California, and Seattle Rep, in addition to an international run at Stratford East in London.

Our critic called the play a “complex, thoughtful, and disturbing theatrical documentary.”

The play was devised by longtime Tetonic members Barrow, Frances Uku, Varjas, Amy Marie Seidel, and others.
