theatrical revival
Broadway show returns
A theatrical revival is a new production of a play or musical that was previously staged, often decades earlier.
Revivals bring classic or notable works back to the stage, sometimes with fresh interpretations, updated staging, or star casting to attract contemporary audiences.
Broadway distinguishes revivals from original productions in its award categories.
The revival of Company featured gender-swapped lead roles.
A show may see multiple revivals across generations if it proves enduringly popular.
