"Danny DeVito will return to the Broadway stage this October in a new play by Theresa Rebeck called I Need That.

The It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia actor will star alongside his daughter Lucy DeVito and Ray Anthony Thomas in the Roundabout Theatre Company’s production of what the company describes as “a deeply human new comedy.”

Preview and opening night dates for I Need That at Roundabout’s American Airlines Theatre will be announced later."

Has there been a playwright in history whose plays are such consistent flops who gets so many productions in New York?

15 major productions off-Broadway since 1992 and this is her 5th Broadway show.

"One additional Broadway production will be announced at a later date."

I hope it's a musical! I know the next one in the pipeline is that Rupert Holmes PIRATES "revisal" with David Hyde Pierce...should we expect that next season?

This synopsis makes me think that Theresa Rebeck saw Between Riverside and Crazy and said "I can write this, but crappier".

At least her big Universal Studios action movie last yearwas a huge hit..................24% RottenTomatoes and just $14M at the box office! (THE 355, starring Chastain, Lupita, and Penelope Cruz)"

I was so looking forward to that and wow, it was awful. Seminar is still her best work IMO

I think you maybe missed the sarcasm in the post about her film…

They just announced their entire 23-24 season, the other one is a play called Home by Samm-Art Williams, directed by Kenny Leon at American Airlines Theatre in spring 2024.
