Time Out says

Broadway's smallest house was named after the beloved leading lady Helen Hayes in 1983 (after her namesake venue was demolished, along with the Morosco and Bijou, to construct the New York Marriott Marquis). The 597-seat space is perfect for chamber musicals or straight drama, and with a house this cozy, you can be assured of excellent sightlines. The nonprofit company Second Stage Theater recently assumed control of the venue; after extensive renovations, overseen by designer David Rockwell, the venue reopened in 2018.

What’s on

Becky Shaw

One salutary recent trend has been the Broadway premieres of major 21st century plays that had previously only been seen Off Broadway. The latest is Gina Gionfriddo's blind-date-gone-wrong comedy, a finalist for the 2009 Pulitzer that was initially mounted in New York by Second Stage and that is returning in a larger venue under the aegis of the same company. The cast of five, directed by Trip Cullman (Significant Other), includes Patrick Ball (The Pitt), Alden Ehrenreich (Solo) and stage marvel Linda Emond (Homebody/Kabul)—plus two women yet to be named.
