Kenneth Lonergan’s Lobby Hero opened March 26 at the Hayes Theater where the play began previews March 1. The revival marks the launch of Second Stage’s inaugural Broadway season, as well as the first show in the company’s newly restored Broadway house.
Lonergan’s Lobby Hero premiered Off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons in 2001. The play tells the story of four New Yorkers involved in a murder investigation in the lobby of a Manhattan apartment complex: a 27-year-old security guard, his stern boss, a young police officer, and her unpredictable partner.
The Broadway production of Lobby Hero features scenic design by David Rockwell, costume design by Paloma Young, lighting design by Japhy Weideman, sound design by Darron L. West, and casting by Telsey + Company.
