Producers Hannah Getts, Alex Levy, Craig Balsam, and P3 Productions announced the Broadway run today. The engagement will follow two sold-out runs Off Broadway at the Soho Playhouse and the Connelly Theatre.

The synopsis: “Jane (Lemmon), an employee at a big tech company (you know the one), has been placed on leave after becoming the subject of a viral video. She arrives in the office of a crisis therapist – Loyd (Friedman) – determined to be reinstated to the job that gives her life meaning. Job zooms in on two careerists of different generations, genders, and political paradigms to examine what it means to be a citizen of the internet and our obligation to help the people who need it most.”

The Job creative team features scenic design by Scott Penner, costume design by Michelle J. Li, lighting design by Mextly Couzin, and sound design by Cody Spencer. Hannah Getts serves as dramaturg.

Job originally premiered Off-Broadway at SoHo Playhouse in fall of 2023 and subsequently transferred to the Connelly Theatre for a second standing-room-only run. Job was nominated for the Outer Critics Circle’s John Gassner Award for playwright Friedlich.

Friedman has been in numerous New York productions including works by Wendy Wasserstein, Annie Baker, Amy Herzog, Susan Stroman, John Kander, Terrence McNally, Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty, and many others. Film credits include The Savages and Safe, and he might be best known recently for his role as Succession’s Frank Vernon, right-hand man of Brian Cox’s Logan Roy.

Lemmon also appeared on Succession, playing Jennifer, the actress girlfriend of Jeremy Strong’s Kendall Roy. She played the title role of Ana Helstrom in Hulu and Marvel’s Helstrom, and appeared in the Academy Award-nominated film Tar. Other credits include Velvet Buzzsaw, Firestarter and AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead. She made her Broadway debut in 2017 in Beau Willimon’s The Parisian Woman starring Uma Thurman.
