Celebrate Women's History Month on Broadway with these new works that highlight female-driven stories or historical figures.
JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN
Stranger Things star Sadie Sink leads new play about high schoolers in an English class learning about The Crucible. Female playwright Kimberly Belflower uses Arthur Miller’s classic play as a springboard to explore the witch hunts from a feminist perspective.
BOOP! THE MUSICAL
Betty Boop has always been a two-dimensional character as a cartoon, but now she has come to life for the first time on the Broadway stage. Watch Betty navigate the pressures of fame, forge friendships, and explore romances along the way from her black and white world to the colorful New York City.
DEATH BECOMES HER
Broadway’s leading ladies, Magan Hilty and Jennifer Simard, star in the cult-classic film adaptation of DEATH BECOMES HER. Watch the actress go from enemies to friends for the rest of eternity.
OH, MARY!
You may know the American tale of Mary Todd Lincoln, but did you know she always wanted to be a cabaret star? OH, MARY! is a comedy about the 15th First Lady of the United States and her husband is there too. See the silliness of the historical role without any of the facts.
REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES: THE MUSICAL
The empowering musical tells the story of how Ana Garcia balances her own ambitions flying away from East Los Angeles and her mother’s expectations to help run the family business. See the daughter and mother dynamics play out while having a majority female cast.
REDWOOD
A truly new musical written and directed by a female team. Idina Menzel stars as Jesse, a successful businesswoman, mother, and wife who seems to have it all, but inside her heart is broken and learns to find herself in the forests of Northern California through resilience and healing.
