About The Roommate

See Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone prove that being bad can be so much fun.

Sharon (Farrow) has never had a roommate before. But after her divorce, she needs a housemate to pay the bills. That's when Robyn (LuPone) arrives. The Roommate by Jen Silverman is about an unexpected, life-changing friendship that's both funny and deeply moving, between two very different middle-aged women as they navigate the complexities of identity, morality, and the dream of reinvention.

"I knew I was privileged to see Patti Lupone and Mia Farrow, but to see them in such an intimate theater was a treat. The play was well written and beautifully presented by these two power house women. It was a comedy and I certainly laughed, but wept at the end. It really touched me in a way I found unexpected!"

"Never having been in New York before I opted for a musical and non-musical Broadway experience. Having no prior information about the production, the Roommate was beyond my expectations for entertainment. Both Patti Lapone and Mia Farrow were superb and perfect as Robin and Sharon. I just knew both actors would be great and they did not disappoint. I thoroughly enjoyed the comedy, drama, pacing and story development of the show. I would have loved to had more time in the city to have seen it again. Do not hesitate to see this production before it is gone. You'll never regret seeing the play with these two professionals leading the way. Also, the Booth Theater was a perfect venue for this production - the right size and all seats, I feel, had to have been very good to put you into the play and keep you there. Do not miss it!"
