Direct from the West End, this smash-hit stage prequel to the Netflix series is a triumph of theatrical imagination and innovation that brings blockbuster buzz to Broadway.

3. Vanya: catch Andrew Scott’s tour-de-force performance in NYC
From Hot Priest to classic European drama, Fleabag and All of Us Strangers star Andrew Scott brings his “revelatory” (WhatsOnStage) performance in this Chekhov classic Off-Broadway. Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Scott performs as every single character in an intense new version of Uncle Vanya, and it’s a real acting masterclass that shows how magical live theater can be. Vanya is in New York for a strictly limited season following its premiere in London.
4. Operation Mincemeat: a hilarious and very British new musical!
Have you heard the story about the corpse that fooled Hitler? Mad but true, Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train in this World War Two musical show that’s taken the West End by storm. Over 60 five-star reviews, a small but brilliant cast playing multiple characters, and catchy songs that make this quirky story of wartime ingenuity a riot: the British are invading Broadway and you need to book your ticket now.
5. Othello: Denzel Washington stars as Shakespeare’s tragic hero
There’s no place like Broadway if you want to experience America’s top actors performing live on stage - and it doesn’t get better than Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal sparring in one of the greatest tragedies ever written, Shakespeare’s Othello. Washington (Othello) and Gyllenhall (Iago) star in Tony Award winner Kenny Leon’s (Topdog/Underdog; Fences) production, which promises to be an intense and thrilling new take on the classic story of an army general manipulated into madness and violence by his jealous rival.
