About Other Desert Cities on Broadway

Everything you need to know about the show.

The Story

On Christmas Eve, the sunlit Palm Springs home of a politically connected family becomes a battleground of memory, loyalty, and legacy when a daughter returns with a memoir and the power to expose the explosive truth they’ve kept hidden. As the past comes into focus, the question isn’t just what happened, but who owns a family’s story, and what is the cost to tell it.

Jessica S from Trussville on Nov 9, 2026
Dyno Script with a Cast to Die For
"A painful and fascinating family journey through many hidden doors and raw emotions, set at Christmastime. A roller coaster of a script with lots of dark humor and intense family dynamics handled brilliantly by a cast that is like a 5-piece orchestra. Their chemistry is insane, every character sharply drawn. Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the fearsome, priviledged matriach who doubts nothing about her life choices. Ed Harris is the retired TV star husband and dad who just wants peace but still yearns after his previous celebrity status. Allison Janney is the matriarch's sister who is usually broke and adrift so needs to stay on the good side of the family to survive. Joe Keery is their weary son who loves his parents without liking them much. But the stunner is Lily Rabe as the daughter. The plot point surrounding these characters is the memoir she has written about her family's secrets. Rabe's pain and confusion and yearning for understanding and acceptance is the foundation of the story. Rabe is absolutely heartbreaking to watch. A truly heart-rending, beautiful performance."

Wonderful show!

Good play, great cast
"Seen this before and believe the quality of the acting says it all. This play while amusing at times is quite heavy-handed in emotional content.. not at all for those looking for a happy frolic. The acting is superb. "
