Auli’i Cravalho, Glenn Davis and Jen Silverman Among Variety’s 10 Broadway Stars to Watch for 2024


Rising stars like Jasmine Amy Rogers, Glenn Davis and Jen Silverman are about to light up Broadway.

Now entering his fourth season in the post, Davis has grabbed national attention with premieres of Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ “Purpose,” coming to Broadway this fall, and “Little Bear Ridge Road,” a show that brought Laurie Metcalf back to Steppenwolf. The trio of Santiago Orjuela-Laverde, Andrew Moerdyk and Kimie Nishikawa, all international artists who met while studying at New York University, emerged from the pandemic into sudden omnipresence, first Off Broadway and now on it, where the triumvirate designed the sets for “An Enemy of the People,” “Oh, Mary!” and “Romeo + Juliet.” “I never thought I would have a play on Broadway.” But after cultivating a reputation for form-busting work like the darkly comic Gothic tale “The Moors,” the nonbinary writer steps up to Broadway this season in a new production of their 2017 comedy “The Roommate,” starring the head-turning duo of Patti LuPone and Mia Farrow.
