On Stage: Room the Musical

Tony Award-winner Adrienne Warren (Tina: The Tina Turner Musical) will star in Emma Donoghue's Room at Broadway's James Earl Jones Theatre, with performances beginning April 3 and opening night set for April 17. The limited engagement runs through September 17, Playbill reported.

Room was previously adapted into a film in 2015, with Donoghue also writing that iteration. The stage production features songs and music by Cora Bisset--who directs after staging the 2017 world premiere at Theatre Royal Stratford East in London--and Kathryn Joseph. Set and costume design are by Lily Arnold, and projection design by Andrzej Goulding. Additional casting and creative team members are to be announced.

"I am truly honored for the opportunity to return to Broadway in a project unlike anything I've done before," said Warren. "There were many reasons I wanted to join this team in telling this story, but most importantly, I wanted to share this beautifully human bond between a mother and her son. This is for all the little Jacks out there determined to hold on to their sense of joy and wonder and all the Mas out there doing their absolute best to live, love, and protect through it all."
