Oscar winner Jessica Chastain will return to Broadway this spring, starring in a new limited engagement of “Lost Lear” at the Booth Theatre. Deadline reports the production begins a 16-week run on Monday, March 29, 2027, with Corey Stoll and Michael Urie also starring.
The play is positioned as a meta take connected to Shakespeare’s “King Lear.” Variety describes the work as carrying a “meta spin” on “King Lear,” while The New York Times adds a character-focused detail: Chastain plays an actress with dementia whose vivid memories center on rehearsing for the title role in “King Lear.” Across the outlets, coverage centers on the Broadway return and the co-stars, with emphasis ranging from scheduling and casting to thematic framing and character premise.
Overall, the reports broadly align on who is involved—Chastain, Stoll, and Urie—and that the production is a new Broadway play running at the Booth Theatre in spring 2027, with limited differences in reported context.
