The award-winning Big Bang Theory star, Jim Parsons, takes on the role of the stage manager in Our Town. Returning to Broadway for the first time in 2 decades, this momentous new production is playing at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. Praised by Edward Albee as “the greatest American play ever,” Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer-winning classic comes to life under Tony® winner Kenny Leon’s direction (A Raisin in the Sun, Topdog/Underdog). Buckle up to witness a star studded cast including actresses Katie Holmes from Batman Begins, and Zoey Deutch from Set It Up!
Storyline
Our Town reveals the simple yet profound story of George Gibbs and Emily Webb, two young lovers from the fictional town of Grover's Corners. Their journey from childhood friendship to marital bliss and then to tragic loss paints a poignant picture of the human experience. The everyday life in Grover's Corners is a backdrop for exploring timeless questions about love, life, and death. As Emily revisits one day of her life after death, she realizes the beauty of life that often goes unnoticed.
