Stage and screen legend Gabriel Byrne returns to Broadway in his acclaimed autobiographical solo show Walking with Ghosts directed by Emmy Award® winner Lonny Price at the Music Box Theatre. Performances begin on October 18, 2022.

Opening night set for October 27, 2022 **75 performances only**.

New York, NY – Anne Clarke, Mara Isaacs, and Neal Street announced today that internationally renowned actor and writer Gabriel Byrne will return to Broadway in his acclaimed solo show, Walking with Ghosts, adapted from his best-selling memoir of the same name. Directed by Lonny Price, the limited engagement of Walking with Ghosts will begin performances on October 18, with an official opening night of Thursday, October 27, at the Music Box Theatre for 75 performances only. Tickets are now available at Telecharge.com.

Premiering earlier this year at Dublin’s Gaiety Theatre in an acclaimed, sold-out run, Walking with Ghosts went on to a smashing success at the Edinburgh International Festival, and will next have a limited run in London’s West End from September 7 – 16, before landing on Broadway. Heralded as an “enthralling evening” and “one of Gabriel Byrne’s greatest achievements” in The Telegraph, its author and star is considered a “master of his craft” (Sunday Times). Walking with Ghosts was commissioned and first produced by Landmark Productions.

Byrne commented, “What an honour to be on Broadway again, especially in a glorious venue like the Music Box. It was a real joy to hear laughter in a theatre during the premiere run of Walking with Ghosts in Dublin. I've chosen to be honest and unflinching in the recounting of a life from working class Dublin to Hollywood. Although rooted in the local, I hope the play has a universal resonance.”

By turns a sensory recollection of a childhood spent in a now almost vanished Ireland, a subversive commentary on stardom, and – ultimately – a lyrical homage to the people and landscapes that shape our destinies, Walking with Ghosts reflects a remarkable life's journey in all its hilarious and heartbreaking facets. Byrne’s career as an actor, writer and director spanned both stage and screen. He has starred in over 80 films and his work on Broadway has earned him two Tony Award nominations. He earned a Golden Globe win for his work in the television drama, “In Treatment.”

Directed by three-time Emmy award-winning director Lonny Price, the creative team also includes Sinéad McKenna (Set and Lighting Designer); Joan O’Clery (Costume Designer) and Sinéad Diskin (Composer & Sound Designer). Wagner Johnson Productions serve as Executive Producers.
