What to See on Broadway This Fall in New York
After a spring season packed with new shows, fall on Broadway isn’t slowing down. Once you’ve crossed summer hits “Oh, Mary!” and “Job” off your list, there are plenty more shows to get excited about. First up is “The Roommate,” bringing Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone back to Broadway. The comedy explores the relationship between two new roommates and how you’re never too old to reinvent. It opens Sept. 12.
Robert Downey Jr. will make his Broadway debut this fall in “McNeal,” opening Sept. 29, in which he plays an accomplished writer with an estranged son and an obsession with AI.
