The Best Plays to See on Broadway This Spring

As we say goodbye to the harsh winter months, it's time to take a look at what's happening on Broadway this spring. With an uncertain period hopefully now behind us, the future is looking more positive in NYC's theatre world. And there are a host of new productions hitting the stage to prove it! Mixing up new works with exciting revivals, let's take a look at just some of the best plays to see on Broadway this spring!

How I Learned to Drive

How I Learned to Drive is set to begin previews on March 29th ahead of an April 19th opening night. The Broadway premiere of Paula Vogel’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece is set to be one to watch as it reunites the two original stars from the 1997 Off-Broadway production. Tony Award winner Mary-Louise Parker and Tony nominee David Morse head the cast of this remarkably timely and moving memory play about a woman coming to terms with a charismatic uncle who impacts her past, present and future life. Directed by Mark Brokaw, the play was originally scheduled to run in Spring 2020 and now, finally, reaches Broadway for a limited run.

Macbeth

While the idea of watching Macbeth may be nothing new, the exciting creative team behind the latest revival of the tragedy makes the highly-anticipated production one to watch. Originally announced as opening at the Lyceum Theatre, the production will now play at the Longacre Theatre following the closure of Diana The Musical in December. Directed by Tony Award winner Sam Gold, the Shakespeare revival stars Daniel Craig (last seen on Broadway in Betrayal in 2013 and Off-Broadway in Othello in 2016) and Ruth Negga, who makes her Broadway debut as Lady Macbeth. It's recently been announced that Tony nominee Amber Gray will also join the cast as Banquo, fresh from her departure from Hadestown "Hadestown Summary") this week. This sounds too good to miss!
