Don't go in blind: Here's your first look at Becky Shaw on Broadway! Gina Gionfriddo's 2008 dark comedy, now making its Broadway debut nearly 20 years after being a Pulitzer Prize finalist, follows a newlywed couple who sets their friend up on a blind date with the title character — and when it goes disastrously awry, all their relationships start to unravel.

The star-studded cast includes Emmy Award nominee Madeline Brewer (You, The Handmaid’s Tale) as Becky Shaw, Tony Award winner Lauren Patten (Jagged Little Pill) as Suzanna, Patrick Ball (The Pitt) as Andrew, Alden Ehrenreich (Weapons) as Max, and three-time Tony nominee Linda Emond (Life x 3, Death of a Salesman, Cabaret) as Susan.
