Jessica Chastain Returns to Broadway in "Lost Lear" Alongside Michael Urie and Corey Stoll
Jessica Chastain will star in "Lost Lear," a new play by Dan Colley being staged on Broadway, alongside Michael Urie and Corey Stoll.
Jessica Chastain is set to return to the Broadway stage in "Lost Lear," a new play written by Dan Colley. The announcement was made on November 11, 2026, and reported by The New York Times, BroadwayWorld, and Playbill.
According to BroadwayWorld, Michael Urie and Corey Stoll are also part of the cast. The actress, who had not performed on Broadway for some time, explained that her Shakespearean training led her to accept this project. The text thus follows in the tradition of William Shakespeare, whose tragedy "King Lear" serves as the starting point for the play's title.
Several details remain unconfirmed at this stage. The available sources do not specify the opening date, the theater that will host the production, or the ticket prices. Beyond the three names mentioned, information about the rest of the cast has not yet been confirmed.
The announcement comes as American public interest in Jessica Chastain is growing, according to online search trends in the United States. The actress's return to Broadway is therefore likely to draw attention well beyond the circle of New York theater enthusiasts, even though the production's precise schedule is still to be announced.
