Other Desert Cities

Experience the gripping family drama Other Desert Cities, the acclaimed Tony Award®-winning play by Jon Robin Baitz, returning to Broadway in a powerful new revival featuring an extraordinary all-star cast. Opening at the Hudson Theatre in New York City, this compelling production explores family, politics, memory, and the devastating consequences of long-buried secrets.

Set on Christmas Eve in an elegant Palm Springs home, the story follows a prominent and politically influential family whose holiday gathering is turned upside down when their daughter returns with a memoir that threatens to reveal a secret the family has spent years trying to protect. As old wounds are reopened and loyalties are tested, each family member must confront difficult questions about truth, forgiveness, identity, and who has the right to tell a family's story.

With razor-sharp dialogue, emotional intensity, and moments of unexpected humor, Other Desert Cities examines the complexities of love, grief, political divides, and generational conflict. The play masterfully explores how personal history shapes family relationships and asks whether some truths are worth revealing, even when they risk destroying the people we love most.

This highly anticipated Broadway revival features an exceptional cast led by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Ed Harris, Allison Janney, Joe Keery, and Lily Rabe, bringing remarkable depth and emotional nuance to one of modern theatre's most celebrated family dramas. Directed by John Benjamin Hickey, the production delivers an unforgettable evening of intelligent storytelling, powerful performances, and emotionally charged drama.
