Broadway performances begin March 29, 2027 at the Booth Theatre, with opening night set for April 23. The production will run for a 16-week limited engagement under the direction of Colley.
Chastain stars as Joy, a woman with dementia. The Broadway.com Audience Choice Award winner will be joined by Golden Globe and Tony nominee Corey Stoll as Conor, Joy's estranged son, and two-time Emmy nominee Michael Urie as Liam, a staff member at Joy’s nursing home.

As her grip on the present slips, Joy, a former actress, is certain she’s back in rehearsal for King Lear. At her care home, her nurse takes his cues from her, stepping into whatever role she needs him to play. When her estranged son Conor comes to visit, he’s ready to tell his mother what he’s spent years leaving unsaid. But if he wants her to hear him, he’ll have to step into the scene.

Kim and Yana Biryukova and original music by Daniel McAuley.
