Preview performances for Broadway‘s I Need That starring Danny DeVito begin tonight, and already the limited engagement has been extended by a week.
Roundabout Theatre Company said the extension through December 30 was due to popular demand. The play officially opens at the American Airlines Theatre on November 2.
Written by Theresa Rebeck and directed by Moritz von Stuelpnagel, I Need That also features DeVito’s daughter Lucy DeVito and Ray Anthony Thomas.
The synopsis: Sam (Danny DeVito) doesn’t get out much. Actually, he doesn’t get out at all, opting instead for the safety of his house in the company of his things – his many, many things. But when a notice from the government arrives alerting Sam that he must clean up his property or face eviction, he’s forced to reckon with what’s trash, what’s treasure, and whether we can ever know the difference between the two.
The play marks the return of the It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia actor to the non-profit Roundabout stage following his 2017 Tony nominated turn in Arthur Miller’s The Price.
