Why watch The Hills of California?
After winning multiple awards for The Ferryman, Tony-winning playwright Jez Butterworth and Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes are reviving their partnership with the Hills of California!

An exciting new spin on the American dream, the production quickly moves from 1950s England, as sisters dream of becoming musical sensations, to 1976, where dreams are dead and their beloved mother is dying.

Broadhurst Theatre
The Broadhurst Theater The British-American playwright George Broadhurst built his theater in collaboration with the Shubert brothers. Opening to the public with George Bernard Shaw’s Misalliance in 1917, the Broadhurst Theater has been the stage for stars like Leslie Howard, Katherine Hepburn, and Diane Keaton. The brickwork theater is designed in a minimalistic fashion, though it doesn’t compromise on its sound system and sight lighting. The architect, Herbert J Krapp, referred to it as the ‘Greek Theater.’ The space feels intimate despite seating over a thousand people, allowing audiences a chance to connect with the performers. The theater has staged Mamma Mia!, Grease, Chicago, and more recently, A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical. Broadhurst Theater seating plan will help you find the best seats in the theater.
