Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone Star in The Roommate

Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone star in the new Broadway comedy-drama 'The Roommate', which officially opened on September 12 at the Booth Theatre and will run through December 15. Directed by Jack O'Brien, the play tells the story of two contrasting women, Sharon and Robyn, who navigate issues of identity and reinvention. Critics have noted flaws in the script, particularly the overly prominent role of a beige landline telephone and other outdated elements. Despite these criticisms, the performances by Farrow and LuPone have been praised, highlighting their long-standing friendship and chemistry on stage. The production offers affordable ticket options through a digital lottery, making it accessible to a wider audience. 'The Roommate' originally premiered at the 2015 Humana Festival and has since evolved for its Broadway debut.
