Sadie Sinkis coming back to the boards!

Performances begin Thursday, March 20, 2025 at the Booth Theatre in New York City ahead of an opening night on Monday, April 14.

Set in a Georgia high school, the play follows a group of students studying Arthur Miller’s classic play,The Crucible, in their English class — though “young love, sex ed and a few school scandals” are preoccupying their minds, according to an official synopsis. Still, “as they delve into the American classic, the students begin to question the play’s perspective and the validity of naming John Proctor the show’s hero.”

This will be Sink’s third Broadway credit. She previously starred in the 2012 revival ofAnnie, and later was an alternative for Young Elizabeth in 2015’s Helen Mirren-led play,The Audience.

John Proctor Is the Villainis the first time Sink will lead a Broadway play. It’s also the first Broadway credit for Belflower, an young playwright who has had her work commissioned, produced and developed regionally to great acclaim.

A full cast is expected to be announced at a further date.
