A mere seven days following actor Hugh Jackman and producer Sonia Friedman’s announcement of their fresh theatrical alliance named Together, the initiative swiftly secured its premier major endeavor. This undertaking involves teaming up with Audible for staging two completely produced dramas—featuring performances from Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Ella Beatty, among others—at Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre located off-Broadway.

Friedman and Jackman jointly stated, “The Minetta Lane stands out as a remarkable theater steeped in heritage, and within the last seven years, Audible has rejuvenated it into an essential hub for high-caliber performances, serving as a prime model of what Off-Broadway can achieve.”

They went on, “Moreover, their groundbreaking approach to presenting performances both onstage and as audio content made it evident to us and Director Ian Rickson that starting our inaugural Together project with Audible would be an ideal fit. This partnership holds particular significance due to our common commitment to accessibility and expanding audiences: each show will offer 25% of its tickets at no cost to various community organizations via our partnership with TDF, and an additional 25% can be purchased for only $35 on the day itself—a remarkable initiative aimed at acknowledging current attendees while nurturing future ones by providing opportunities to those who typically wouldn’t get them.”

The two performances will be:
