Mike Faist stans, get ready! Michelle Williams will lead a production of Eugene O’Neill’s Anna Cristie directed by Thomas Kail — alongside Faist — this winter. The play will be part of St. Ann's Warehouse Fall 2025 season, and run from Nov. 25 to Feb. 1, 2026. 

Anna Christie follows the titular character, who is a reformed prostitute trying to turn her life around. Eugene O’Neill won the Pulitzer Prize For Drama for the play in 1922. 

“It is an honor to have a chance to work with the extraordinary Michelle and Mike and this uncommonly talented creative team on Eugene O'Neill's Anna Christie,” Kail said in a statement. To revive a play is to stand as part of a lineage, part of the glorious tradition of theater, to offer up something that is connecting the past and the present. Doing this play about what it means to try and make a new life on the sea — and the shore — at the remarkable riverside St. Ann's Warehouse feels like an ideal match.”

The season will kick off with Weather Girl by Brian Watkins, which will star Julia McDermott and be directed by Tyne Rafaeli. It will run at tk from Sept. 16 to Oct. 12. In Edinburgh Fringe Festival Hit, McDermott plays Stacey, a California weather girl, oversexed and underpaid. The solo eco drama explores “soul of American strangeness,” according to a press release. It is being adapted as a Netflix limited series.

From Sept. 24 to 28, Justin Vivian Bond will perform a tribute to Marianne Faithfull at the Church of St. Ann & the Holy Trinity. She recorded her comeback concert and record Blazing Away at the Church of St. Ann & the Holy Trinity in Brooklyn Heights 25 years ago. It will be Bond’s first U.S. performance of Faithfull’s music since she passed away. 

“It’s a thrill to be working with artists and producers of this caliber, playing at the top of their game this season at St. Ann’s Warehouse,” St. Ann’s Warehouse Artistic Director Susan Feldman said in a statement. “True innovators all, no one is flinching, but rather harnessing the greater good with unbounded hope and creativity. We’re excited to return to our roots at St. Ann’s Church for a dose of the sacred to bolster the charge.”

Anyone in the mood for some potassium or some laughs? Jeff Ross will make his Broadway debut this summer in his one-man show Jeff Ross: Take a Banana For the Ride. The show will have a limited eight-week engagement at the Nederlander Theatre on West 41st Street from Aug. 5 — with opening night set for Aug. 18 — to Sept. 29. 

“Ever since my Aunt Bess took me to see Jackie Mason on Broadway when I was young, I’ve daydreamed about performing my own classy and uncensored one-man show,” Ross said in a statement. “I’m honored and excited by the opportunity to share my origin story of how I became the motherf*n Roastmaster General!  This new show is designed to be a cathartic experience shared with others — I encourage you to bring friends that you care about, people that might be going through tough times.  I will shake them out of it with an evening of uncensored jokes, uplifting stories, songs and even some live roasting of the bravest volunteers.”

The show offers insight into Ross’ life through comedy about human resilience. It’s named after his grandfather’s practical travel advice. The show will be directed by Stephen Kessler with creative consultation by Jeff Calhoun, and dramaturgy by Seth Barrish. It is produced by Eric Nederlander, Robert Nederlander Jr., Marc Cornstein, and Tony Eisenberg, with ShowTown Productions serving as Executive Producer. It was originally workshopped during the 2024 Netflix Is A Joke Festival. 

Ross is best known as the “Roastmaster General.” He produced and starred in “GROAT (Greatest Roast of All Time): Tom Brady,” which streamed live to the largest weekly audience ever for a Netflix special. He has also roasted celebrities such as Justin Bieber, Alec Baldwin, James Franco, and Charlie Sheen on Comedy Central. He also fundraises for causes such as The U.S.O., Meals On Wheels America and Planned Parenthood.

Jeff Ross: Take a Banana For the Ride will play at the Nederlander Theatre on Broadway from Aug. 5 to Sept. 29, 2025. For tickets and more information, visit here.

The Penzance Musical will take on the title role of Mary Todd Lincoln in Oh, Mary! for eight weeks beginning on Aug. 4, 2025. Oh, Mary! has also extended its run through Jan. 4, 2026. 

"Now — I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Cole Escola is the funniest person alive,” Monsoon said in a statement. “Oh, Mary! is one of the best, funniest, most energizing things I’ve seen in my life. To be invited to live in this playground for a time is not only an honor and a privilege, but a lovely chance to showcase the writing talents of one friend, the directorial talents of another, and everything else that comes with this singular production. Happy to trade in one pair of bloomers for another.”
