    The production announced its Broadway transfer via Twitter in April, arriving from London where it made its world premiere in 2020 at the Wyndham Theatre. Tickets for the run will go on sale to the general public June 29 via Telecharge.

    Leopoldstadt reunited Stoppard, Marber, and producer Sonia Friedman, who last collaborated on Travesties in 2017. The show's North American premiere was originally set to take place in Toronto earlier this year. However, it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and rising cases of the Omicron variant. Leopoldstadt will be Stoppard's 19th play to have a Broadway run, his first being Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead which opened 55 years ago. Since then, his work has won four Tony Awards for Best Play.
