The Menier Chocolate Factory today announces programming for its Autumn 2022/Spring 2023 season, including the transfer of Alex Edelman’s sell-out New York show – Just For Us.
The season opens in November with the world première of Terry Johnson’s new play The Sex Party, which Johnson also directs. This is followed by Alex Edelman – Just For Us, after a smash-hit sell-out extended season in New York.
Completing the season is the UK première of Jordan Harrison’s Marjorie Prime, directed by Dominic Dromgoole, presented in a co-production with Rachel Edwards Productions.
Later this year, the Menier’s Olivier Award-winning production of Stephen Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along, with Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez, directed by Maria Friedman, opens at the New York Theatre Workshop. Also in Spring 2023, the Menier and Umeda Arts Theater’s co-production of Stephen Sondheim’s Pacific Overtures – directed by Matthew White – will open at the Nissay Theatre in Tokyo, with a later transfer planned to the Chocolate Factory.
Artistic Director of the Menier, David Babani said today, “After our first dark period in 18 years of production whilst the venue underwent necessary maintenance work, we are thrilled to announce our new season of work with the world première of a new play by Terry Johnson, Alex Edelman’s smash hit comedy show Just For Us, and completing the season at our home base is the UK première of Jordan Harrison’s Marjorie Prime, directed by Dominic Dromgoole. In addition, the Menier will be co-producing work in New York and Japan, continuing the company’s long association with the works of Stephen Sondheim with productions of Merrily We Roll Along and Pacific Overtures. It’s a busy season for the company, and we look forward to sharing further plans for 2023 with you shortly.”
Priority booking for The Sex Party opens today, with public booking opening on 3 October at 9am. Booking for Alex Edelman – Just For Us and Marjorie Prime will open at a later date.
