Prayer for the French Republic

Prayer for the French Republic on Broadway Background

Prayer for the French Republic premiered at the Manhattan Theatre Club in New York City on January 11, 2022, under the direction of David Cromer.

Show Extended For An Extra Month

The show extended at the Friedman Theatre from its initial closing date of February 12, 2024 to March 3, 2024. This was in part due to strong ticket sales and positive critical reviews.

Discount on Theatre Rental

Another Broadway show is not scheduled to go into that theatre soon after that date, so the landlord gave the producers a discount on the theatre rental.

Next Show At The Theatre

The next show, Mary Jane (with Rachel McAdams) is scheduled to open in previews at the Samuel J Friedman Theatre on April 2, 2024, so it gives Prayer for the French Republic some wiggle room.
