The complete cast of Second Stage Theater’s Broadway production of Marjorie Prime has been announced. The company will include Tony Award winner Danny Burstein, Christopher Lowell, Tony Award winner Cynthia Nixon, and June Squibb. Squibb will play the title role.
Marjorie Prime will begin previews at the Hayes Theatre on West 44th Street on Nov. 20, with official opening set for Dec. 8. The production is directed by Anne Kauffman.
The play was a finalist for the 2015 Pulitzer Prize, and will mark playwright Jordan Harrison’s Broadway debut. It examines the blurred line between a life lived and a life remembered, begging the question of what you would say to someone you lost if you could see them again. And what if they’re a better listener now than when they were alive?
Set in the age of artificial intelligence, Marjorie is battling dementia as her daughter and son-in-law introduce her to a cutting-edge technology: a computer hologram resembling her late husband. The hologram, a Prime, becomes a bank of memories. As Marjorie’s health declines, her daughter must grapple with their relationship, and the impact of this human-robot dynamic.
The Broadway production will feature scenic design by Lee Jellinek, costume design by Márion Talán de la Rosa, lighting design by Ben Stanton, and sound design and original music by Daniel Kluger. Casting is by Daniel Swee, CSA.
In addition to Marjorie Prime, Second Stage Theater’s 2025-26 season will feature the Broadway debut of playwright Gina Gionfriddo with her play Becky Shaw directed by Trip Cullman. Off-Broadway, the season will include Meet the Cartozians directed by David Cromer, Meat Suit, or the shitshow of motherhood written and directed by Aya Ogawa, and The Receptionist directed by Sarah Benson.
Marjorie Prime begins performances at the Hayes Theatre on West 44th Street in New York City on Nov. 20, with opening set for Dec. 8. For tickets and more information, visit here.
