Springtime for Broadway: 2024-25 Season Readies to Close With High Hopes, High Prices and Huge Stars
Here's what Broadway is talking about in spring 2025, as the 2024-2025 season closes out with high hopes, high prices, and huge stars.
With projections for city tourism higher than ever and Broadway’s spring slate filling out over the next month with big titles and even bigger stars, the momentum should continue — and maybe even reach those 2018-19 peaks. An ultra-starry lineup looks sure to keep Broadway in the media spotlight all spring, with Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal starring in “ Othello,” Clooney headlining “Good Night, and Good Luck,” recent Oscar winner Kieran Culkin appearing in “Glengarry Glen Ross” and Sarah Snook performing all the roles in “The Picture of Dorian Gray” — not to mention Nick Jonas in “The Last Five Years,” Sadie Sink in “John Proctor Is the Villain,” and the arrival of “Stranger Things: The First Shadow,” an adaptation of the show that made Sink famous. Early nomination contenders for the top new musical trophy include critical faves “Maybe Happy Ending” and “Dead Outlaw,” freshly opened “Buena Vista Social Club,” splashy comedy “Death Becomes Her” and Olivier-winning import “Operation Mincemeat.” And then there’s the best actress in a musical race, which could pit Audra McDonald (“Gypsy”) against Nicole Scherzinger (“Sunset Blvd.”) in a standoff for the ages.
