A limited number of $35 tickets will be available for day-of performances beginning at 10 AM at the Cort box office. Tickets are limited to two per individual; some seats may be partial view.

Tony-nominated director Kenny Leon (The Mountaintop, Fences, A Raisin in the Sun) directs Stick Fly, which will officially open Dec. 8. Previews began Nov. 18.

Grammy Award-winning songwriter Alicia Keys, who is among the producers of Stick Fly, has also authored an original musical score for the play. Set during a three-day summer weekend in the LeVay family's generations-owned summer home on Martha's Vineyard, Stick Fly lifts its title from the ways in which entomologists study fast-flying insects: by gluing a stick to them in order clearly observe flight patterns.

The cast features Ruben Santiago Hudson (Seven Guitars, Gem of the Ocean, Jelly's Last Jam, Lackawanna Blues) as family patriarch, neurosurgeon Joe LeVay, alongside Emmy nominee Dulé Hill ("Psych," "The West Wing") and Mekhi Phifer ("ER," "8 Mile") as his sons Kent and Flip, respectively.

Tracie Thoms (Rent, The Exonerated "The Devil Wears Prada") plays Taylor, Kent's fiancée, and Condola Rashad (Ruined, "The Good Wife") is cast as the maid, Cheryl. Rosie Benton, who was part of the original Huntington-Arena Stage productions, returns to play Flip's girlfriend, Kimber. The Broadway production reunites original regional creative team members David Gallo (scenic design) and Reggie Ray (costume design), who are joined by the fresh talents of Beverly Emmons (lighting design) and Richard Fitzgerald/Sound Associates (sound design).

According to producers, "It was supposed to be a relaxing weekend at the family home on Martha’s Vineyard… until the baggage got unpacked. Set at the elegant summer home of the well-to-do LeVay family, Stick Fly begins when two adult sons bring their significant others (one a fiancée, the other a new girlfriend) home to meet their parents for the first time. Soon, secrets are revealed, civilities are dropped and identities are explored in a harsh new light. Race and rivalry, class and family, all come together for an explosive comedy of manners about today’s complex world."
