#Rachel McAdams to Make Broadway Debut in ‘Mary Page’ This Spring

Rachel McAdams will make her Broadway debut in Amy Herzog’s play Mary Jane this spring. 

The Notebook and Doctor Strange star will appear in the world premiere of the play, directed by Anne Kauffman (The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window), which is scheduled to begin April 2, 2024 at Manhattan Theatre Club’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. 

The play, from Herzog, who recently adapted A Doll’s House for Broadway starring Jessica Chastain, had its world premiere at Yale Repertory Theatre in 2017 and later appeared Off-Broadway at New York Theatre Workshop. The play follows a single mother who uses optimism and humor, as well as the help of the women around her, to make her way through “an impossible family situation,” according to the production. 

Additional casting, an opening night date and the creative team for Mary Jane will be announced at a later date. 

McAdams comes to the role after appearing in films such as Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, Game Night, Disobedience,  Spotlight, Sherlock Homes: A Game of Shadows , Wedding Crashers and many more, as well as TV foles on Dave and True Detective. 

“I’m thrilled and very proud to be bringing this moving and heroic story of human experience by one of our great American playwrights to a Broadway stage following its acclaimed run off-Broadway in 2017, which was also directed by the brilliant Anne Kauffman. I’m equally pleased and honored to give Rachel McAdams her Broadway debut after audiences have enjoyed her many renowned performances on film. As a great fan of all three of these fabulous artists, I so look forward to sharing Mary Jane with our audiences,” said Manhattan Theatre Club artistic director Lynne Meadow.
