Summary
Reviews began landing after Jon Robin Baitz’s “Other Desert Cities” officially opened at the Hudson Theatre on October 18 following previews that started September 29.
The limited Broadway revival is led by Julia Louis-Dreyfus in her Broadway debut, alongside Ed Harris, Allison Janney, Joe Keery and Lily Rabe, with John Benjamin Hickey directing.
The production had already joined Broadway’s $2 Million Club in its first full week of previews, signaling strong box-office demand before opening night.
Baitz’s family drama, first staged Off-Broadway in 2011 before moving to Broadway, centers on a writer threatening to publish a memoir exposing a long-held family secret and was a 2012 Pulitzer finalist.
The engagement is scheduled to run through January 17, 2027.
