Broadway says goodbye to The Roommate December 15 at the Booth Theatre. The two-hander from Jen Silverman stars Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone, and opened September 12—read the reviews here. Jack O'Brien directs.
The work centers on Sharon (Farrow), who has never had a roommate before. Enter Robyn (LuPone), who's ready to break Sharon out of her shell as they navigate the complexities of identity, morality, and the promise of reinvention.
Understudy Carol Halstead rounds out the company. Casting is by C12 Casting's Stephen Kopel.
Three-time Tony winner LuPone was last seen on Broadway in a Tony-winning turn as vodka stinger-downing Joanne in Company. Farrow was last seen in a brief stint in Love Letters in 2014, and before that 1979's Romantic Comedy.
