The current Broadway season is getting a surprise ending: Oscar Isaac and Rachel Brosnahan will bring to America’s most visible theater district their take on a long-overlooked Lorraine Hansberry play, “The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window.”
The starry duo — he’s best known for the “Star Wars” sequels and she’s the title character in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” — led a production of the play at the Brooklyn Academy of Music that closed on March 24. Now they plan an unexpected and unusually quick transfer uptown: The show will start previews April 25 and open just two days later, on April 27, which is the final date on which plays and musicals can open and still be eligible for this year’s Tony Awards.
