I loved this at NYTW, thrilled it'll get a wider audience

When I saw this at NYTW two years ago, I said two things:

1. There’s absolutely no way this doesn’t end up on Broadway at some point

2. Should this cast transfer with it, Elizabeth Stahlmann (and you’re gonna wanna remember that name) is definitely getting a TONY nomination and honestly could very much win

glad I was right about the first, here’s hoping the second comes true as well!

You could write the exact same post in the DOWNSTATE thread ;)

If it hasn't been announced by now, it's not happening.

Kad said: "Despite their acclaim and quality, I have my doubts about how both this and Downstate will fare on Broadway without some kind of big name attached, which is a sad reflection on the state of things these days. It's not unlikely that one will follow a similar path as Liberation last season, flopping hard but managing to win Best Play, but that's still kind of a bummer."

If they can’t get Elizabeth Stahlmann for Blueberries, i’d love to see Mikey Madison

I'm also guessing that Birthrite will arrive come Spring. It was an extraordinary play and Sonia Friedman is attached. Quite a collection of thoughtful solid plays coming.

I'm just hoping we get some more musical announcements to equally balance things out, cause so far this season I'm seeing way more plays than musicals.

With all that said the plays that have been confirmed or have yet to confirm deal with some very controversial themes. Blueberries deals with the Holocaust, Birthright deals with zionism, Gloria with mass shootings, Downstate with sex criminals, and The Goat (or Who is Sylvia?) with..well google it

Awesome, thanks.

Blueberries
Downstate
All My Sons
A Few Good Men
Small Mouth Sounds
Other Desert Cities
The Imaginary Invalid
Awake and Sing
Mean Girls
Three Days of Rain"

Add GLORIA to that list.

Won't HERE THERE ARE BLUEBERRIES be considered a new play?

I strongly doubt School Girls; Or, the African Mean Girls Play (as it is actually titled) would be considered a "new play". Its debut was in 2017, and has been produced in some 75 regional theaters.

Absolutely
