In this psychological thriller and highly contemporary two-hander about our addiction to work, young Jane is placed on leave following a breakdown at her job that went viral on social media. Despite the chaos, Jane craves the job, and her new therapist, Lloyd, may hold the key to her success — or demise. A taut 80-minute play that won’t let you come up for air, Job is a “slick, cleverly crafted drop-tower ride” per New York magazine. See Job on Broadway at the Hayes Theater.

More information about JOB
Max Wolf Friedlich is a young playwright on the rise, and Job marks his Broadway debut. Similar to a harrowing Black Mirror episode, Job follows young tech professional Jane following a public mental breakdown. Only able to return if she gets approved from her therapist, their sessions together explore modern themes, including work addiction, social media, and mental health. All the while, a force binds Jane and her therapist ever closer together.
Best known for playing Frank on Succession, Peter Friedman is a theatre mainstay, earning a Tony Award nomination for Ragtime (original cast) and several Drama Desk Award nominations, including one win. Sydney Lemmon is Jack Lemmon’s granddaughter and marks her Broadway debut with this new play. A New York Times Critic’s Pick, the show enjoyed two highly acclaimed off-Broadway runs and is, per The New Yorker, “engrossing, disturbing, and frequently funny.” The play runs for a limited time and promises a wild ride.
What to watch for
- Friedman and Lemmon have both appeared on Succession: Friedman, as Frank, won a Screen Actors Guild Award, and Lemmon had a featured role as one of Kendall Roy’s love interests.
- Director Michael Herwitz has been on Broadway before: 20 years ago, as a child performer, he appeared in Dracula, the Musical and, years later, in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
- Reviews were glowing for the off-Broadway productions: the New York Times called it a “tight, clever play” in its Critic’s Pick review.
- Job was the winner of the inaugural SoHo Playhouse Lighthouse Series after appearing at that theatre; a return engagement was put up at the Connelly Theater before transferring to Broadway.
