The Conversation · New York · Jan 6, 2027

THE CONVERSATION follows Marcus (Tony Award-winner Joshua Henry) and Elle (Julia Harriman) from the electric spark of their first date to move-ins, milestones, and the slow accumulation of everything left unsaid. The score, written by Henry and Harriman, weaves soul, R&B, and modern pop into bold musical theater storytelling that is intimate, honest, and emotionally gripping. With a book by Nick Green and directed by Tony Award-winner Kenny Leon, The Conversation asks what it takes to choose love, even when it hurts, and what it takes to stay.

Please note: Accessibility: The main lobby of the theatre is located 8 steps below street level. To transport guests to the lobby comfortably and safely, we use a specialized LiftKar Stair Climber.

Once you're in the main lobby, you'll find all public areas and amenities-including restrooms, box office, concessions, and wheelchair-accessible seating - are accessible. Some rows in the Orchestra section may require you to navigate an additional 1 to 4 steps once inside the theatre. Our mezzanine is located up 26 steps and is not wheelchair-accessible.
