Jonathan Groff will return to Broadway this winter with the solo play “The Amish Project.” The production, written by Jessica Dickey and directed by Sarna Lapine, is scheduled to begin performances on February 10, 2027, at the Broadhurst Theatre. Producers Robert Ahrens and Tom Kirdahy announce the show, and an official opening night follows the initial run.
Outlets frame the news with different emphasis. The New York Times’ Arts section highlights the play’s inspiration, describing it as drawing from a massacre that occurred minutes from Groff’s childhood home. By contrast, Deadline and the Hollywood Reporter focus more on the Broadway return itself—placing the announcement alongside details of the production and Groff’s broader recent stage work.
Across coverage, there is broad agreement on the core facts: Groff stars in a solo Broadway project titled “The Amish Project,” the creative team consists of Dickey and Lapine, and the run begins in February 2027 at the Broadhurst Theatre.
