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.

"We Wanted to see Mia Farrow & Patty Lupone! ..two iconic stars! But the story line was "so so". Had assumed it was abt a lifelong friensdship and their journey. Was disappointed. Would not recommend. It was a letdown. Were some funny moments and reflections on changes in society& aging. (We were a group of "50ish" long island friends who had not seen a play since covid)! Sorry but seeing the 2 women stars (who were great)..did not ease our overall let down."

"It's always a pleasure to watch Patt LuPone and Mia Farrow on stage. Unfortunately, the play isn't that interesting and doesn't showcase their considerable talent. However, it features women as the primary subject matter that's a good thing. I couldn't buy the arc of the Farrow character as it seemed forced, unrealistic, and took the play sideways. Of note, it was clear the play visibly lost the audience (and me) when a certain prop appeared. It was silly, unnecessary, and way over the top. After that scene, I lost interest in the characters, what really is a thin story, and patiently waited for it to end."

"Did not like the directing or set. Although the two actors had chemistry it felt kind of static and flat. Just exchanging conversation. A few good moments but not nearly enough to sustain those two actors. Nothing moving about it. "
