Every Brilliant Thing is a Broadway play at the Hudson Theatre that turns a simple concept into a deeply affecting theatrical experience. The story unfolds with a performer guiding audience members through a growing list of joyful, meaningful, and often humorous things worth living for, all created as a response to a loved one’s struggle with depression. As the list expands, moments of laughter and reflection blend together, inviting the audience to participate not just as observers but as collaborators in the storytelling. This production uses minimal staging and direct engagement to draw viewers into an intimate, communal space where personal connection becomes part of the performance itself. With its mix of warmth, wit, and emotional depth, Every Brilliant Thing offers a thoughtful exploration of resilience, hope, and the small wonders that make life meaningful, creating an experience that stays with audiences long after the curtain falls.
