Time Out says

Broadway's smallest house was named after the beloved leading lady Helen Hayes in 1983 (after her namesake venue was demolished, along with the Morosco and Bijou, to construct the New York Marriott Marquis). The 597-seat space is perfect for chamber musicals or straight drama, and with a house this cozy, you can be assured of excellent sightlines. The nonprofit company Second Stage Theater recently assumed control of the venue; after extensive renovations, overseen by designer David Rockwell, the venue reopened in 2018.

What’s on

Purpose

Broadway audiences got a taste of playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins's strong but delicious medicine in last season's revival of Appropriate. They'll get another gulp with this new family drama, which looks at the structural damage behind the pious facade of a prominent Black family. Stage and screen royal Phylicia Rashad directs a cast of six that includes four holdovers from the play's debut at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre Company last year—Harry Lennix, Jon Michael Hill, Alana Arenas and Glenn Davis—plus the formidable Latanya Richardson Jackson and the irresistable Kara Young.
