Join us for a night of unforgettable theater with Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone in The Roommate! This witty, provocative play explores the unexpected bond between Sharon (Farrow), who’s never had a roommate before, and Robyn (LuPone), who’s about to turn her world upside down. The Roommate shatters expectations with its profound portrait of the blossoming intimacy between two women from vastly different backgrounds as they navigate the complexities of identity, morality and the promise of reinvention. Being bad never felt as good as it does in this riveting one-act about second acts.

Tammy Faye Producer’s Picks
Thursday, December 12, 7 pm ET

Palace Theatre
160 West 47th Street
New York, NY 10036

It’s the 1970s and American homes now have a brand-new feature: cable programming. As satellites beam television into living rooms across the country, a star is born. It’s the magnetic Tammy Faye Bakker, wife of traveling preacher Jim Bakker, who captivates millions and brings a whole new sparkle to faith!

Leading the congregation is two-time Olivier Award winner Katie Brayben (Beautiful), alongside Tony Award winners Christian Borle (Something Rotten) and Michael Cerveris (Fun Home). Featuring an electrifying score by the one and only Elton John, with lyrics by Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears, a book by Olivier Award-winning playwright James Graham, and directed by Olivier Award winner Rupert Goold, Tammy Faye shines a sparkling light on the generous, loving, often lonely soul behind the illustrious lashes.
