The production, directed by Anne Kauffman, will begin previews on April 2, 2024, at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, with the opening date and additional cast to be revealed later.
McAdams, known for her role in «Spotlight» and recent appearance in «Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret,» makes her Broadway debut. Her film and TV credits encompass «Doctor Strange,» «The Notebook,» «Sherlock Holmes,» «Morning Glory,» «The Family Stone,» and a role in "True Detective" Season 2.
Herzog, acclaimed for her work, including the new version of «A Doll's House» nominated for a Tony Award, has penned original plays like «4000 Miles,» «After the Revolution,» and «Belleville.»

Lynne Meadow, the artistic director of Manhattan Theatre Club producing the show, expressed her excitement: «I'm thrilled to bring this moving story to a Broadway stage after its successful off-Broadway run in 2017, directed by Anne Kauffman. I'm equally pleased to offer Rachel McAdams her Broadway debut, following her celebrated film performances. As a fan of these three talented artists, I eagerly anticipate sharing 'Mary Jane' with our audiences.»
