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.

"What an amazing opportunity to see these two powerhouses play together. The script is funny and charming with quick dialogue and witty exchanges. Once in a lifetime experience."

"The set was perfect, the twists in plot were sometimes predictable, but those two equivocating, attacking, and accommodation old pro actors was a very special experience for me, sitting a mere 25 feet from them"

"Great to see two actresses ageing with class and obviously having a good time together. Personally I enjoyed the humour, irony and whimsy! Why not be liberated and be bad? !"

"Mia Farrow was riveting as ever. Her ingenue remained in character for the whole performance and she stole the show in many ways. Patti LuPone was credible and slightly overdone in her delivery of the role but the story was compelling and the mysterious path of her character was well developed throughout the play. A memorable and enjoyable day at the theater! "

"THE ROOMMATE is a must see. The script is delightfully humorous and well written. Marsha Mason, stepping in for Mia Farrow at the VERY LAST minute, was purely remarkable. She and Patti LuPone moved through the one act play like an easy breeze on a crisp spring day. Two incredible, polished (even with one carrying a script which magically became a part of her character) actors; a must see!!"

"Two characters who could not be more different forge an odd friendship and even go into "business" together. Suspend your disbelief, sit back, relax and enjoy! Mia Farrow is sometimes a cartoon rather than a character but I got over that. Patti LuPone is her wonderful self."

"Performances were exceptional. Two legends of the stage together. Found the play a bit confusing or weak but it didn’t matter to me. Mia and Patti are icons. They inhabited the characters credibly. "

"If there is a better actress than Mia Farrow I don’t know who it could be. Ms LuPone also shines and keeps a rather sagging script from sinking to the bottom. Impeccable pros both. Sometimes everything works the way it should. Keep it running. "

"I went for Patti (and loved her), but stayed for Mia! Wasn’t prepared for the level of comedy she brought to the table. "

"I absolutely loved this play. The performances from both Farrow and Lupone were wonderful to watch. They were master classes and the audience was the beneficiary. I know the play ends mid December and I wish that wasn’t the case. It then denies so many others the opportunity to see theatrical perfection. "
