Becky Shaw is a Broadway play at the Helen Hayes Theatre that weaves a sharp and insightful look at relationships and emotional vulnerability into a compelling evening of theatre. The story centers on a couple who, hoping to help their friend break out of a cycle of bad romantic choices, introduce her to someone they believe is the perfect match — only to discover that compatibility is far more complicated than intention. With its blend of humor and honest emotional observation, the play unfolds through lively, character-driven dialogue that explores how people navigate desire, expectation, and self-awareness in their search for connection. The revival’s staging gives room for each character’s anxieties and missteps to feel lived-in and true, offering moments that are both witty and quietly reflective. As previews begin in March 2026, Becky Shaw brings this intimate, nuanced story to Broadway with a focus on the complexity of love and the surprising ways people can affect one another’s lives.
