Stage Door
Full guide →Getting there. Facing the theatre from Christopher St., the stage door is the door on the left — so it is immediately to your right as you come out. There are two exits along the same frontage and performers have been seen using both, so keep an eye on the pair.
When to go. Head straight out at curtain call. Two-show days are the worst bet at both performances — the cast rests through the matinee and is spent by the evening. A Sunday matinee is the best single bet, because it is a one-show day. In bad weather the barricades sometimes never go up at all.
Who comes out. Anywhere from nobody to most of the cast. Nobody can tell you in advance which three — not us, not the theatre. Treat any list that claims otherwise with suspicion.
What to bring. Tonight’s Playbill and a fine-tip Sharpie, held open to the page you want signed. Ask before you photograph anyone, and keep the pavement clear — it is a working door, not a red carpet.
Why “still confirming”. The theatre details above are solid. What we haven’t nailed down is whether this particular production does a stage door — that changes with the cast, and no source publishes it. We’d rather say so than guess.

The Lowdown
Here’s the twist behind the sequins: at 30, Cohen suffered a stroke caused by a hole in her heart. Instead of quietly recovering, she did the only sensible thing a born main character could do — she wrote a song-filled solo show about it. Broad Strokes is a giddy, brutally funny meditation on mortality, hypochondria, and the undeniable thrill of being the most important person in the room (yours).
Fresh off a sold-out 2025 run at the Edinburgh Fringe, the show arrives Off-Broadway under the direction of Tony nominee Alex Timbers (Just in Time, Moulin Rouge!), who knows a thing or two about turning a spotlight into a religious experience. Previews begin July 14, opening night is July 27, and the curtain comes down September 5, 2026. Run time clocks in around 70 deliciously self-absorbed minutes. Get there.
