About the show

FADE IN: The open ocean, 1974. Production on ‘Jaws’ is delayed…again. The film’s lead actors—theatre veteran Robert Shaw and young Hollywood hotshots, Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider—are crammed into a too-small boat, entirely at the mercy of foul weather and a faulty mechanical co-star. Alcohol flows, egos collide, and tempers flare on a chaotic voyage that just might lead to cinematic magic…if it doesn’t sink them all. Ian Shaw (War Horse, Common) stars as his father, actor Robert Shaw, in a piece inspired by his iconic performance as Quint and his stories of choppy waters on-set. Also starring Alex Brightman (Beetlejuice, School of Rock) as Richard Dreyfuss and Colin Donnell (Anything Goes, Chicago Med) as Roy Scheider, THE SHARK IS BROKEN is a moving and brilliantly hilarious behind-the-scenes drama, and celebration of movie history.

The cast includes: Ian Shaw, Alex Brightman, and Colin Donnell.

GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL

Broadway's Best Buds Are Back In A Hilarious New Musical About An Unintentionally Hilarious New Musical!

Need we say more? Okay we will! Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells—who became pretty famous on Broadway and then extremely super famous out in Hollywood—are coming back to their musical theater roots, putting on a show together because they just love each other so damn much. And what did they pick? A hilarious new musical from the guys who wrote Beetlejuice and the guy who directed Beetlejuice and Moulin Rouge.

It’s the story of two best pals named Bud and Doug who put on a show together because they just love each other so damn much. It’s art imitating life imitating art! And it’s the funniest thing to come to Broadway since 1448! (Which is the year the printing press was invented by Johannes Gutenberg, who is the subject of the musical that Bud and Doug write, but that’s not important right now.)

The cast includes: Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells.
