Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone Shine in Broadway's 'The Roommate'

Farrow and LuPone deliver standout performances in Jen Silverman’s comedy about unlikely housemates.

  • Mia Farrow captivates as Sharon, a lonely Iowan divorcee, in her third Broadway role in 50 years.
  • Patti LuPone plays Robyn, a sardonic, pot-smoking New Yorker, bringing her signature energy to the stage.
  • Directed by Jack O’Brien, the play explores themes of loneliness, reinvention, and unexpected friendship.
  • Critics praise Farrow's vulnerability and comic timing, though some find LuPone's character underwritten.
  • The production, running at the Booth Theatre, is noted for its strong performances despite a somewhat uneven script.
