In this episode of Half Hour, we dive into the 2026 Broadway revival of Becky Shaw by Gina Gionfriddo, now playing at the Hayes Theater. Directed by Tripp Coleman with design by David Zinn, the production stars Lauren Patten, Alden Ehrenreich, Madeline Brewer, Patrick Ball, and Linda Emond. The conversation explores the play’s blend of comedy and drama, its sharp look at modern relationships, and how Gionfriddo’s writing resonates with audiences today. We also discuss staging, performances, and whether this revival could be in the running for Tony nominations this season.
