Jonathan Groff Sets Broadway Return in Solo Play The Amish Project
Jonathan Groff will return to Broadway in The Amish Project, a solo play written by Jessica Dickey and directed by Sarna Lapine. Performances are scheduled to begin February 10, 2027, at the Broadhurst Theatre, with an opening night and design team still to be announced.
Tony winner Jonathan Groff is set to return to Broadway in The Amish Project, a one-performer work by Jessica Dickey with Sarna Lapine directing. The run is scheduled to start Feb. 10, 2027, at the Broadhurst Theatre; producers Robert Ahrens and Tom Kirdahy announced the engagement. Opening night and designers remain unannounced.
Groff’s recent Broadway appearances were in Merrily We Roll Along and Just In Time, both large-cast shows. The production describes Dickey’s play as an emotional solo piece centered on compassion after devastating loss.
The announcement may draw Broadway audiences toward an intimate solo format, especially fans of Groff’s recent ensemble work. Its focus on compassion and grief could resonate with theatergoers affected by loss and may encourage conversation about empathy in public life. Commercially, a star-led solo play could signal continued interest in small-scale, actor-centered productions, though its broader social reach will depend on reception and accessibility.
