- Anna Camp, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Finn Jones, and Martin Marquez are set to lead the New York premiere of '2:22 — A Ghost Story' at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, playing Lauren, Jenny, Sam, and Ben respectively.
- Previews begin October 20 with opening night November 5, running a strictly limited 13-week engagement through January 17, 2027, produced by Runaway Entertainment.
- Anna Camp is reprising the role of Lauren, which she previously played, marking her return to the New York stage for the first time in this production.
- Written by Danny Robbins, the play premiered in London's West End in 2021 and has since mounted seven West End engagements, two UK tours, and more than 30 productions worldwide.
- The original West End production broke all box office records for a new play at the Noël Coward Theatre and received an Olivier Award nomination for Best Play.
- The off-Broadway run is directed by Matthew Dunster and Gabriel Vega Weissman, with illusions designed by Chris Fisher — the same designer behind 'Stranger Things: The First Shadow' and 'Harry Potter & The Cursed Child.'
Why it matters: This New York premiere imports a proven commercial hit — seven West End engagements, 30-plus worldwide productions, and an Olivier nomination — and stakes its off-Broadway debut on TV- and film-recognizable casting (Pitch Perfect, Hamilton, Iron Fist). The strictly 13-week window means the production must convert its UK box-office track record into a fast, sell-out run rather than relying on open-ended word of mouth.
