Melissa Etheridge to Bring Solo Show My Window to Broadway This Fall

Singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge will bring her solo show My Window to Broadway this fall. The nine-week run at the Circle in the Square Theatre begins previews September 14 in advance of a September 28 opening. It is scheduled to conclude on November 19.

Written by Etheridge and wife Linda Wallem-Etheridge, My Window is directed by Amy Tinkham. Sets are by Bruce Rodgers, lighting is by Abigail Rosen Holmes, projections are by Olivia Sebesky, and sound is by Colle Bustin.

My Window premiered in 2022 at New World Stages and looks back on Etheridge’s life, from her childhood in Kansas through the most momentous events in her life and career. Her iconic songs, including “Come to My Window” and “I’m the Only One,” are also featured. A rock music icon, Etheridge released her self-titled debut album, Melissa Etheridge, in 1988, with its lead single, “Bring Me Some Water,” earning the musician her first Grammy nomination. She has since won two Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Her solo show will be a return to the New York stage, having performed on Broadway briefly in 2011, replacing Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong as St. Jimmy in the rock opera American Idiot.

Of the off-Broadway run, TheaterMania called the nearly three-hour event a “great party (but in need of a little pruning),” with Etheridge’s voice in “remarkable shape.”
