Off-Broadway Hit Stephen Karam’s The Humans Sets Great White Way Dates & Theater

The rumors were true! Stephen Karam’s The Humans will move to the Main Stem's Helen Hayes Theatre with the cast from the current off-Broadway Roundabout production—including Reed Birney and Jayne Houdyshell—intact. Directed by Joe Mantello, the show will begin performances on January 23, 2016 and officially open on February 18.

In addition to Birney (Casa Valentina) as Erik and Houdyshell (Fish in the Dark) as Deirdre, the company includes Arian Moayed (Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo) as Richard, Lauren Klein (Other Desert Cities) as Fiona, Cassie Beck (Picnic) as Aimee and Sarah Steele (The Country House) as Brigid.

The Humans follows Mr. Blake, who, after a sleepless night, brings his family from Pennsylvania to his daughter’s new apartment to celebrate Thanksgiving. Family tensions reach a boiling point as things start to go bump in the night. The production is currently playing an extended engagement at the Laura Pels Theatre through January 3, 2016.

The creative team includes sets by David Zinn, costumes by Sarah Laux, lighting by Justin Townsend and sound by Fitz Patton.

Dames at Sea will vacate the Helen Hayes on January 3, 2016.
