Full guide →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.

The Lowdown
Hadestown fans, clear your January. Lillias White and Reeve Carney are reuniting Off-Broadway in Texas in Paris, a musical with book, music and lyrics by Alan Govenar, directed by Akin Babatundé.
Based on true events, it follows a Black nanny and a white cowboy from Texas who are invited to Paris to share American roots music with French audiences. Between the gospel, the cowboy songs and a lot of jet lag, the two strangers wind up in an unexpected, funny and tender conversation about race, home and what they actually have in common.
Performances begin January 14, 2027 at the Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre at the Pershing Square Signature Center on West 42nd Street, with opening night January 21 and a limited run through February 28, 2027.
The Jewel Box is a cozy room of under 200 seats, which means two Broadway voices this big are going to feel like they are singing just for you. Mark your calendar and bring your dancing boots.
