Roundabout Theatre Company鈥檚 transfer of its Off-Broadway hit, Joshua Harmon鈥檚 Significant Other, plays its final performance on Broadway April 23 at 7 PM at The Booth Theatre.
Critics praised the 2015 Off-Broadway premiere of the timely new American play about a tight-knit group of New York millennials that played an extended, sold-out run at Roundabout Theatre Company鈥檚 Laura Pels Theatre.
Playwright Harmon (Bad Jews) and director Trip Cullman made their Broadway debuts with the production that officially opened March 2 following previews that began February 14. Significant Other played a total of 79 Broadway performances.
Significant Other struggled to find an audience on Broadway despite earning largely positive reviews from critics when it transferred.
Gideon Glick stars in the central role of Jordan Berman, a gay single 20-something New Yorker whose bond with his once-inseparable group of friends begins to fracture as the women in his life get married.
Sas Goldberg, Rebecca Naomi Jones, and Lindsay Mendez play Jordan鈥檚 trio of friends in a cast that also features Oscar and Tony nominee Barbara Barrie, John Behlmann, and Luke Smith.

鈥淢eet Jordan Berman. He鈥檚 single. And he has a date with a co-worker to see a documentary about the Franco-Prussian war,鈥� according to production notes. 鈥淎t least, he thinks it鈥檚 a date. Significant Other follows Jordan and his three closest friends as they navigate love, friendship and New York in the twenty-something years.鈥�
Significant Other was Roundabout鈥檚 second new play to transfer to Broadway, following the success of Stephen Karam鈥檚 Tony Award-winning The Humans last season.
