The most recent Broadway collaboration between British playwright Jez Butterworth (Jerusalem) and director Sam Mendes (The Lehman Trilogy) was 2018's superb The Ferryman. The duo now returns with another ambitious family drama; this one is set in a seaside English town in the 1970s, where sisters reunite at the deathbed of the mother who, decades earlier, drilled them into a child singing act. The eight leading actors from the show's premiere production in London earlier this year reprise their roles: The Ferryman's Laura Donnelly as well as Leanne Best, Ophelia Lovibond, Helena Wilson, Nancy Allsop, Sophia Ally, Lara McDonnell and Nicola Turner.
