Olivier Award-winner Andrew Scott will reprise his acclaimed performance in Vanya in New York.
The show will run at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in New York for eight weeks only, from 11 March 2025.
Vanya is a radical new adaptation of Chekhov’s masterwork Uncle Vanya, by Simon Stephens.
The play ran at the Duke of York’s Theatre in London from 15 September to 21 October 2023, scoring impressive reviews from the London critics.
The New York transfer will once again be directed Sam Yates and designed by Rosanna Vize.
Andrew Scott said in a statement: “I love this masterpiece of a play. I love these heartbreaking, hilarious, sexy, characters. I love my colleagues with whom I made this show. I love New York. So, I couldn’t be more thrilled to bring Vanya to the audiences at the Lortel Theatre. See you then!”
Producers Benjamin Lowy and Emily Vaughan-Barratt of Wessex Grove, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to bring Vanya to New York next Spring with the incomparable Andrew Scott making his highly anticipated return to the New York stage. This production is not just a reimagining of a classic, but a deeply personal and intimate exploration of the human spirit, helmed by one of the finest actors of his generation. Andrew, Simon, Sam, and Rosie have created something so deeply theatrical that is profound, funny, and heartbreaking in equal measure. We had a wonderful time creating this show in London last year, and we are delighted we will be able to share this show with new audiences in New York.”
The creative team also includes lighting design by James Farncombe, sound design by Dan Balfour, video design by Jack Phelan, movement direction by Michela Meazza, music by Kelly Moran, and costume design by Natalie Pryce. Vanya will be Executive Produced by Wagner Johnson Productions.
