Doubt on Broadway Tickets

Are we ever really certain of our convictions? Moonstruck Oscar winner John Patrick Shanley’s shimmering play, Doubt: A Parable, has mystified audiences since its New York debut in 2004. Now, two decades later and as timely as ever, Roundabout Theatre Company, one of the nation’s most influential not-for-profit theatre companies, revives this Pulitzer Prize-winning drama. The Broadway play is at the American Airlines Theatre in winter 2024, directed by Scott Ellis and featuring a powerhouse cast including Tyne Daly and Liev Schreiber.

In Doubt: A Parable on Broadway, teachers and students fear their Catholic school's biting but protective principal, Sister Aloysius (Daly). A woman of strong morals, she soon worries her working-class Bronx parochial school may be slipping from her control: the charismatic Father Flynn (Schreiber), she suspects, has an inappropriate relationship with a new student. Tackling race, faith, and the impact of our decisions, Doubt: A Parable investigates moral quandaries, cutting all the way to our bone-deep uncertainties.

Doubt highlights

Doubt: A Parable won the Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. A modern classic, the play gets a new staging on Broadway. There’s no doubt that this revival is unmissable — here’s why.

• The play has a hit movie adaptation. Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, and Viola Davis turned in four Oscar-nominated performances in the 2008 film version of this play.
• John Patrick Shanley is having a busy season. Another one of Shanley’s beloved plays, Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, is enjoying an Off-Broadway revival with two A-listers: Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbott. He’s also premiering another new play, Brooklyn Laundry, off Broadway in the winter.
• Roundabout excels at producing acclaimed works. Roundabout often produces revivals of cherished plays and musicals, including recent award-winning works such as She Loves Me, A Soldier’s Play, and Kiss Me, Kate.
