A revival of the Rocky Horror Picture Show and of Oedipus, starring Mark Strong and Lesley Manville, will be part of Roundabout Theater Company’s 2025-2026 Broadway season.
Created and directed by Robert Icke, Oedipus comes to Broadway after a West End run, also starring Strong and Manville, which has been nominated for four Olivier Awards and was the highest-growing limited run in the Wyndham Theatre’s history. The play, which sets Sophocles’ Greek tragedy in modern times on election night, is set to play Studio 54 for a 14-week run starting in November.
The play is produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, Sue Wagner, John Johnson and Patrick Catullo, in association with Roundabout. This is the Broadway debut for Manville, who was an Oscar nominee for her role in Phantom Thread. Strong, known for his onscreen roles in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Zero Dark Thirty and more, last appeared on Broadway in the 2015 production of A View From the Bridge.
The revival of the Rocky Horror Picture Show will take over Studio 54 in spring 2026. Sam Pinkleton, director of Oh, Mary!, helms the revival. Casting has not yet been announced.
Starting in August 2025, the Todd Haimes Theatre will be closed for renovations that are expected to last eight months. The renovations will include a restoration of the theater’s interior, a gut renovation of the restrooms and increased accessible seating.
The theater will reopen in early 2025 with a new production of Noël Coward’s Fallen Angels, starring Rose Byrne, and Kelli O’Hara, and directed by Scott Ellis.
