An Interview with Daryl Roth, Daryl Roth Productions

 

The words of women are ruling our stages: It’s a watershed moment for female playwrights are stories with strong female characters that has been a long time coming.

Tony Winning Producer and Theater Owner Daryl Roth answers the age-old questions what does a Producer to? What was it like to bring her friend Delia Ephron’s memoire Left on tenth to Broadway starring Juliana Margulies & Peter Gallagher? Daryl also discusses Kinky Boots, Titanique, Closer Than Ever, Clybourne Park, and the upcoming Picture of Dorian Gray and Sondhiem’s Old Friends.

Daryl Roth, Broadway’s Drama Queen

Manhattan Theatre Club has announced the first productions in its 2024-2025 season, which includes a Broadway bow for the London concert Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends. Tony winners Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga will reprise their performances from the concert's West End bow. Previews will begin March 25, 2025, at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.

Our Town is returning to Broadway for the first time in nearly 25 years, and it's coming with a star-studded cast of actors.

The actors Julianna Margulies and Peter Gallagher are set to star in a stage adaptation of “Left on Tenth,” Delia Ephron’s memoir about a late-in-life romance.

Originally adapted in 2020 by Sydney Theatre Company’s artistic director, Kip Williams, who again directs, the result is a true high-wire act, not only because of Snook’s fleet and fabulous performance but also because of the accompaniment of screens, pre-recorded footage, live film crew, and orchestration of technology that is as dazzling as it is complicated, heightening theatricality rather than distracting from it.

This adaptation, by the Sydney Theater Company, directed by Kip Williams is a formally ambitious but playful multimedia production. The single-actor format and clever use of camerawork give visual expression to the novel’s themes of overweening egotism and existential dread.

Snook plays not just the eternally young but damnably debauched Dorian Gray, but every one of the 26 parts in two unbroken hours of ceaselessly kinetic, highly choreographed, tech-heavy action. And she’s phenomenal.

Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ critically acclaimed play Appropriate, starring Sarah Paulson and Corey Stoll, will extend its limited engagement by 13 weeks with a commercial transfer from its current home at the Hayes Theatre to the Belasco Theatre.
