John Proctor is the Villain
Jan 23 - Feb 21, 2027 in Goodman's Albert Theatre
The kids are not only all right, they’re on fire.
Fueled by pop music, optimism and fury, five young women are about to light up some of the darkest secrets of their one-stoplight town. The Chicago premiere of the Tony Award nominated Broadway smash sensation—hailed as “the new era of cool-girl theater” (BrooklynRail.org) “igniting its own cultural moment” (Variety)—pulses with humor and energy. Heroes, villains and who gets blamed when the hysteria starts are up for debate in this “vital, hilarious, thrilling and urgently necessary” (The New York Times) unflinching perspective of a generation staking its claim.
A co-production with Guthrie Theater.
