Clifford Odets’ Awake and Sing! Tickets & Information

Starring Tony Award® winner Danny Burstein, Tony Award® nominee Micaela Diamond, Tony®/Emmy Award nominee Jessica Hecht, Will Pullen and Tony Award® nominee Jeremy Shamos, this bold new production of Clifford Odets’ timeless masterpiece tells a story about aspiration, family and how to live with dignity in America. It’s the 1930s, and the Bronx is a furnace. New ideas clash with the old amidst the poverty and shattered promises of the Great Depression. And three generations of the Berger family, trapped inside their cramped tenement, struggle to hold different visions of an American dream and the Jewish experience. Directed by Tyne Rafaeli, this classic battle between hope and disillusionment returns to Broadway, speaking thrillingly to the crises of the present moment.

About The Samuel J. Friedman Theatre

The Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, originally the Biltmore, was the second theatre built by the Chanin Organization.

Designed by Herbert J. Krapp, the interior plan was unusual in that it sat slightly askew on the site and the auditorium was rectangular with a horseshoe at one end and the proscenium arch at the other. The ornamentation was in the Adamesque, or 18th century neoclassical, style used frequently by Krapp. In 1987 the interior of the theatre was destroyed by fire and remained vacant for 14 years until the Manhattan Theatre Club, a subscription-based nonprofit organization, rescued it and extensively renovated it. The theatre reopened in 2003 with Violet Hour. Five years later it was renamed for Samuel J. Friedman, the first theatrical press agent to have a theatre named in his honor. Dedicated to nurturing and promoting new American plays, the Manhattan Theatre Club has presented such productions as Rabbit HoleRecklessDoubt, and Time Stands Still.

The Samuel J. Friedman has 650 seats and is Manhattan Theatre Club‘s only Broadway theatre.
