No one was more excited than Dolly Parton herself for this musical to come to Broadway. “I lived my whole life to see this show on stage," Parton said. "I’ve written many original songs for the show and included all your favorites in it as well. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll clap, you’ll stomp, it truly is a Grand Ol’ Opera. Pun and fun intended. Don’t miss it!”

Dolly Parton made the announcement of the musical on stage at the CMA Fest in Nashville, and the musical fittingly had its world premiere there in 2025. Parton died at age 80 in 2026, and the musical's opening night is her would-be 81st birthday. It's a bittersweet occasion now, but one things for certain: We will always love Dolly.

## What to watch for

- With a career spanning 60 years, Parton was a country legend who sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
- As in other bio-musicals like *The Cher Show*, three actresses play Parton at different stages of her life.
- Parton was heavily involved with the show right up until her death, co-writing the script, penning new songs alongside her existing hits, and promoting the show online.
- Parton earned 11 Grammys (including a Lifetime Achievement Award), three Emmys, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the National Medal of Arts, the Kennedy Center Honors, and an induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame during her long career.

During her decades-long career, Parton won 11 Grammys (including a Lifetime Achievement Award), three Emmys, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the National Medal of Arts, the Kennedy Center Honors, and an induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, among other honors.

St James Theatre

Designed by Warren and Wetmore, the St. James Theatre was built by producer Abraham L. Erlanger on the site of the original Sardi's restaurant (which is now located down the block). The theatre opened in 1927 as The Erlanger with the inaugural production *Merry Malones*.

The Astor family took over the venue in 1930 after Erlanger's death and renamed it the St. James Theatre in 1932.

The Shubert Organization took control in 1941 before relinquishing the building to William L. McKnight in 1957. In 1970, he passed it on to his daughter Virginia and her husband James H. Binger, the founders of theatre-ownership company Jujamcyn Theaters. The organization still operates the St. James today.

This new play has played in Boston and Washington, DC, where it got rave reviews. The Boston Globe calling it “genuinely funny and deadly serious,” and The Washington Post said, "Not only has Kimberly Belflower ingeniously set up nuanced resonances with America’s broader civic zeitgeist, she has also written a touching, and sometimes hilarious, portrait of bracingly specific 21st-century young people."

Now, *John Proctor is the Villain* comes to Broadway, directed by Tony Award winner Danya Taymor (*[The Outsiders](https://www.todaytix.com/nyc/shows/34093-the-outsiders)*). Belflower makes her Broadway debut with her fast-rising hit. With astute observations and stinging wit, this new play puts a contemporary spin on an American classic, captures a generation on the cusp of adulthood, and gives refreshing voice to young Americans. Rethink who your heroes are, and see *John Proctor is the Villain* on Broadway.

## What to watch for

- The niece of Julie Taymor, Danya Taymor has quickly risen the ranks on Broadway, starting her career off Broadway and making a name for directing Pulitzer finalist *Heroes of the Fourth Turning*.
- Kimberly Belflower is a playwright and educator originally from a small town in Appalachian Georgia and brings that background to the setting of her new play.
- Sadie Sink has been on Broadway before, starring in *Annie* and *The Audience*.
- Boston Theater Critics Association wrote, “Look out Arthur Miller: I left as fired up as these teenage girls.”

John Proctor Is the Villain on Broadway - NYC - Todaytix

The seven-time Tony Award-nominated *John Proctor is the Villain* is a new dark comedy about a class of English students discussing *The Crucible*. While dealing with adolescence, sex ed, and first love, the students wonder whether the hero of Arthur Miller’s classic is as righteous as he seems.

Get *John Proctor is the Villain* tickets and see Sadie Sink (*The Whale, Stranger Things*) star through July 13 only in this bitingly funny, seven-time Tony Award-nominated new play that puts a spin on an American classic. Plus, see *Cruel Summer* star Chiara Aurelia make her Broadway debut from July 15 to August 31! Kimberly Belflower’s play traces Georgia students studying *The Crucible*, whose lead character, they find, may or may not be as heroic as he seems. Get *John Proctor is the Villain* tickets on New York Theatre Guide now.

Think you know Arthur Miller’s masterpiece? Think again: experience *John Proctor is the Villain* on Broadway to see how Belflower turns the tables on *The Crucible* with caustic humor and stinging insights. Her play asks: who gets to be the heroes in the stories we tell?

At a high school in a one-stoplight town in Georgia, an English class is reading *The Crucible*. It’s a bit of a snooze — especially as the students have love, sex, and some scandals on the mind — until the students begin debating the terms of the literary classic. Perspective is subjective, and no one seems to agree on whether John Proctor is actually the hero in this story.

In her play, Belflower captures a generation on the cusp of adulthood figuring out their values while fueled by pop music, optimism, and fury — and an increasingly clear understanding that their future is not dictated by their past. Tony Award winner Danya Taymor (*[The Outsiders](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/34093-the-outsiders)*) directs. 

After runs in Boston and Washington, DC, the play garnered glowing reviews with The Boston Globe calling it “vibrant — genuinely funny and deadly serious.” Now, Sink returns to Broadway after appearances in *Annie* and *The Audience*. See her lead this new work — tickets to *John Proctor is the Villain* in New York ar on sale now.
