Laurie Metcalf Leads Samuel D. Hunter’s Little Bear Ridge Road in Broadway Opening

The production lists Scott Rudin as a producer in his first credited return since 2021.

Overview

  • The play officially opened October 30 at the Booth Theatre after previews that began October 7.
  • Joe Mantello directs a transfer that reunites the Steppenwolf cast—Laurie Metcalf, Micah Stock, John Drea, and Meighan Gerachis—and the original design team.
  • Early reviews describe a 95-minute, intermissionless character study set in rural Idaho, praising the understated staging and performances.
  • The engagement is limited at the Booth, with published listings pointing to a run into mid-February 2026, and tickets include digital rush and lottery options starting at $49.
  • Steppenwolf commissioned the work but is not producing the Broadway run, which marks playwright Samuel D. Hunter’s Broadway debut.
