Zoey Deutch Shines in Star-Studded Broadway Revival of ‘Our Town’

Zoey Deutch is among the talented cast members in the highly anticipated Broadway revival of Thornton Wilder’s classic play, ‘Our Town’. Directed by the acclaimed Tony Award winner Kenny Leon, this new production at the Barrymore Theatre features a star-studded ensemble including Jim Parsons, Katie Holmes, Julie Halston, Ephraim Sykes, and Richard Thomas.

In this beloved play, Zoey Deutch takes on the role of Emily Webb, a central character in the heartwarming story that explores themes of marriage, loss, and community in the fictional town of Grover’s Corner, New Hampshire, between 1901 and 1913. The play, known for its minimalist aesthetic and the use of a Stage Manager as narrator, has been a staple of American theatre since its premiere in 1938 and has won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Jim Parsons, known for his Emmy-winning role as Sheldon Cooper in ‘The Big Bang Theory‘, returns to Broadway as the Stage Manager, while Katie Holmes portrays Mrs. Webb. The production, which began on September 17, 2024, and will run until January 19, 2025, has garnered significant attention for its talented cast and the directorial expertise of Kenny Leon.

The play’s enduring legacy is underscored by its numerous adaptations into TV shows, films, a musical, and an opera. Edward Albee once described ‘Our Town’ as “the greatest American play ever written,” and this revival promises to bring new life to this timeless tale. Tickets for the show are available on the New York Theatre Guide, with prices starting at $77 and a recommended age of 8+.
