Under Haimes, Roundabout married commercial growth with stunning critical and awards success, with the company winning 38 Tony Awards, 59 Drama Desk Awards, 73 Outer Critics Circle Awards, 21 Lucille Lortel Awards, 14 Audelco Awards, 14 Obie Awards and 5 Olivier Awards under his tenure.

The Roundabout Theatre Company says it will resume production in Fall 2021 with two much anticipated shows – the Covid-delayed Jeanine Tesori/Tony Kushner musical Caroline, Or Change and Alice Childress’ Trouble In Mind. The planned musical revival of 1776 will now begin performances in Spring 2022.
The nonprofit theater company does not have a date for its postponed production of Noah Haidle’s Birthday Candles starring Debra Messing. The play had been set for last spring, but was delayed by the pandemic shutdown until Fall 2021. Roundabout now says the production “will proceed at a future date to be determined.”
The company’s new schedule reflects Broadway’s lengthening pandemic shutdown, with all show openings planned for Spring 2021 bumped off by the industry’s now-extended closure at least until June. Caroline, Or Change starring Sharon D Clarke, reprising her lauded London performance, was initially planned for Spring 2020, then moved to Spring 2021 before the latest Fall 2021 target.

The Broadway revival of the Tony Kushner-Jeanine Tesori musical Caroline, or Change and the New York premiere of Noah Haidle’s Birthday Candles starring Debra Messing are the latest productions to announce postponements until 2021, and they’ll be joined on the Roundabout Theatre Company line-up with the Broadway debut of Alice Childress’ 1955 play Trouble in Mind, to directed by Charles Randolph-Wright.
The postponements – plans to open both Caroline, Or Change and Birthday Candles this Spring were scuttled by Broadway’s Covid-19 shutdown – follow this week’s announcements that The Music Man, Flying Over Sunset, American Buffalo and The Minutes are now targeting Spring 2021 premieres. Birthday Candles, with Messing, will open in Fall 2021.
“With the ongoing uncertainty of the pandemic and with concern for our artists, staff, and audiences, we have determined that we will not be able to reopen our theaters this fall,” said Roundabout Artistic Director/CEO Todd Haimes.
