amBroadway | Digital update of ‘The Maids’ to play St. Ann’s Warehouse and more

Following last year’s Broadway import of “The Picture of Dorian Gray,” St. Ann’s Warehouse will host another high-tech fever dream from Australian director Kip Williams.

The Donmar Warehouse’s production of “The Maids” — Jean Genet’s 1947 psychodrama of class resentment and identity collapse — will run May 17 through June 14 at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn Bridge Park.

Williams, who earned acclaim for his “cine-theater” staging of “The Picture of Dorian Gray” starring Sarah Snook, resets Genet’s claustrophobic two-hander in the social media era. In this version, the maids’ ritualized role-playing unfolds not just in private but on their phones, livestreamed and filtered into glossy unreality.

Genet’s original play centers on two servants who, while their mistress is away, obsessively reenact fantasies of humiliating and murdering her. Williams reframes Madame as an abusive influencer. The production stars Phia Saban (“House of the Dragon”) and Lydia Wilson (an Olivier nominee for “King Charles III”) as Solange and Claire, with Yerin Ha (“Bridgerton”) as the imperious Madame.

Jackman to return Off-Broadway for encore run of ‘Sexual Misconduct’

Last year, Hugh Jackman surprised New York audiences by swapping Broadway bombast for something far leaner: Hannah Moscovitch’s slippery, two-character drama “Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes” at the Minetta Lane.

Now, the play is coming back. Audible and TOGETHER — the partnership led by mega-producer Sonia Friedman and Hugh Jackman — will launch their 2026 season with the return of “Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes,” running March 17 through April 20. Ella Beatty reprises her performance opposite Jackman, with Ian Rickson again directing.

The play, also available for listening as an Audible Original, unfolds as a deceptively casual monologue-turned-duet. Jackman plays a celebrated middle-aged novelist and college professor who recounts — and reframes — his relationship with a 19-year-old student (Beatty). What begins as charming self-disclosure gradually curdles into something far murkier, raising questions about consent, agency and who controls the narrative.

Megan Thee Stallion to play Zidler in ‘Moulin Rouge!’

Broadway’s most glitter-drenched jukebox musical is preparing one last stunt before it can-can’s off into the sunset in July.

Three-time Grammy winner Megan Thee Stallion will make her Broadway debut in “Moulin Rouge! The Musical,” stepping into the role of club impresario Harold Zidler for an eight-week engagement from March 24 through May 17 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. In doing so, she becomes the first woman to play Zidler in the show’s history.

Stallion, born Megan Pete in Houston, is best known for Billboard-topping hits including “Savage (Remix),” “WAP” and “HISS.” She has also dipped into acting (“Dicks: The Musical,” a cameo in the 2024 film “Mean Girls,” and TV appearances from “P-Valley” to “She-Hulk”) and hosting gigs on MTV and late-night television.

Matthew Morrison to lead ‘Just in Time’ for three weeks

Matthew Morrison, who appeared on Broadway in “Hairspray,” “The Light in the Piazza” and “South Pacific” before winning TV fame on “Glee,” will assume the role of Bobby Darin in the nightclub-set bio-musical “Just in Time” for a three-week engagement beginning April 1 at Circle in the Square Theatre.

Morrison will step in following Tony winner Jonathan Groff, who plays his final performance March 29. Two-time Tony nominee Jeremy Jordan is slated to take over beginning April 21. A decade ago, Jordan starred in the out-of-town tryout of “Finding Neverland” — only to be replaced by Morrison when the musical transferred to Broadway in 2015. Now the baton passes the other way: Morrison fills the role just before Jordan assumes it.

Speaking of Groff, he will make his Royal Shakespeare Company debut in Stratford-upon-Avon this fall as Rosalind in an all-male production of “As You Like It.”
