READ: In the New Broadway Comedy Eureka Day, Concerned Parents Argue About Vaccines
The play, which premiered Off-Broadway in 2019 and made a London debut in 2022, centers on a private elementary school in California that is forced to reconsider its liberal vaccine policy following an outbreak of the mumps. MTC's production, which is a new staging, is produced by special arrangement with Sonia Friedman Productions (which co-presented the 2022 London run), Wagner Johnson Productions, and Seaview.
The production also features scenic design by Todd Rosenthal, costume design by Clint Ramos, lighting design by Jen Schriever, original music and sound design by Rob Milburn and Michael Bodeen, projection design by David Bengali, and intimacy and sensitivity coordination by Ann C. James. Kevin Bertolacci is serving as production stage manager.
MTC will follow Eureka Day on Broadway with Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends, a transfer of the tribute concert that played a limited run in London's West End last year. Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga are both returning to Broadway to reprise their performances from the concert's London bow.
