The Inheritance Part 2 on Broadway Tickets

Barrymore Theatre

Stephen Daldry directs Matthew Lopez’s critically acclaimed two-part play The Inheritance as it transfers to Broadway this year. An urgent and poignant new work that explores the legacy of the AIDS crisis amongst young gay men, Part 2 opens at the Barrymore Theatre from October 11 2019.

Please Note: The Inheritance is a two-part play, see also The Inheritance: Part 1.

Olivier Award winning American epic The Inheritance transfers to Broadway after immense critical acclaim at London’s Young Vic and Noël Coward theaters. Following the lives of three generations of gay men, this epic play is split into two parts and can be watched over one day or consecutive evenings at the Barrymore Theatre.

Set in New York, The Inheritance initially follows a group of gay men as they experience the turbulence of contemporary love and life. Branching out to represent individuals over the prior three decades who are all searching for community and acceptance, the show has drawn comparisons to the generation-defining masterpiece Angels in America. With plot inspiration expertly taken from E.M. Forster’s Howards End, the show is a deeply emotional – but often piercingly funny – meditation on what we owe to the legacy of our fore-bearers.

Playwright Matthew Lopez previously won an Obie Award for The Whipping Man (2006), and The Inheritance marks his Broadway debut. The play is directed by Tony, Olivier and Emmy Award winner Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot the Musical, The Crown). Other creatives include designer Bob Crowley and lighting by Jon Clark.

Original West End cast members Andrew Burnap, John Benjamin Hickey, Paul Hilton, Samuel H. Levine and Kyle Soller reprise their roles in the transfer; Soller won Best Actor at the 2019 Olivier Awards for his performance. New cast members include Jordan Barbour, Dylan Frederick and Tony Award nominee Lois Smith.

The Inheritance on Broadway can be experienced over the course of one epic day or savoured across individual nights. Part 2 of this compelling and sharp new play begins previews at the Barrymore Theatre on October 11 2019.

I still loved Part Two of this phenomenal show but I did notice quite a few changes that, for me, didn't make it flow as well as it used to.

I was engrossed in Part 1 and found Part 2 to be compelling, as well. That said, I think that there could have been some tightening up of the story with fewer long pauses and speeches. It's a lot to ask of an audience to sit for 6.5 hours. The cha Read more

Very good play, better than part 1. It is long but it flows well and doesn't feel like 3 plus hours.
