Roundabout Theatre Company will also produce a revival of 'Pirates of Penzance,' starring David Hyde Pierce and Ramin Karimloo.

Daniel Dae Kim will star in the Broadway premiere of David Henry Hwang’s Yellow Face next season. 

The play, which is inspired by real events, follows a playwright protesting the casting of white actors playing Asian roles in Miss Saigon, and then mistakenly casting a white actor as an Asian lead in his own play. Yellow Face, directed by Leigh Silverman, is scheduled to start previews at what will be the newly renamed Todd Haimes Theatre (formerly the American Airlines Theatre but renamed after the death of the Roundabout Theatre Company’s artistic director) in September 2024.
