Sneak Peek at Fall ‘09 Broadway Productions, Part I

There are several fashionable Broadway productions making the rounds over the next few months, and there’s no better time to hit the theater than during the fall, as transitions to and from Broadway are sparking up all over the place. We’ve got your guide to all the must-see plays this fall, and here are some of the A-listers for the fall of ‘09:

Brighton Beach Memoirs and Broadway Bound: These two Neil Simon classics have been paired for an Emanuel Azenberg-produced revival that begins at the Nederlander on Oct. 2 with an opening date of Nov. 18, and this Noah Robbins/Josh Grisetto-led production is a surefire crowd-pleaser on the theatrical circuit.

Oleanna and Race: David Mamet also has two productions in the running this fall - one a classic (Oleanna) and one a brand new effort (Race). For the upcoming run of Oleanna, Julia Stiles and Bill Pullman take the lead roles, with previews beginning Sept. 29 at the Golden. In the latter, look for James Spader, Kerry Washington, David Alan Grier and Richard Thomas to star, with previews starting Nov. 16 at the Barrymore.

Superior Donuts: The acclaimed Tracy Letts play Superior Donuts kicks off Sept. 16 with previews at the Music Box, and the production features Michael McKean as “Arthur Przybyszewski.”

After Miss Julie: This three-character play puts a spin on the August Strindberg play about relationships and class, and the Patrick Marber-led production begins Sept. 18 at the American Airlines Theatre.
