Why see Uncle Vanya?

The Tony-Nominated Chekhov Classic Starring Steve Carell

Steve Carell makes his Broadway debut! A classic of 19th-century theater, Uncle Vanya continues, some 120 years after its premiere, to resonate with audiences all over the world with its universal themes of ennui, dashed ambitions and unrequited love never going out of fashion. Don't miss this Tony-nominated production, with an all-star cast including Steve Carell making his Broadway debut alongside Alison Pill and Alfred Molina!

What is the story?

If you thought your family reunions were tough, spare a thought for Vanya (Jones), whose life is turned upside down by the appearance of his late sister's husband and his glamorous new wife Yelena. Interrupting his daily schedule of bemoaning provincial ennui with his friend Astrov (Armitage), he not only has to deal with his pompous dear brother-in-law (and landlord) and his money-making schemes - notably selling the Estate Vanya has loyally managed for him for many years - but with mounting feelings for the beguiling woman who has taken his sister's place. He better act fast though, because Yelena's admirers have already begun forming a disorderly queue...
