George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick, New Jersey, has added two more engagements to its 2026-27 season. Tony winner Len Cariou stars in Tuesdays with Morrie February 5–14, 2027, and Angela Ingersoll follows with her Judy Garland concert, Get Happy, March 20–21.
Both play the Arthur Laurents Theater, the 253-seat house inside the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center, where the company has been based since the 2019-20 season. They join a lineup that already includes 2 Pianos 4 Hands, running December 1–20.
Tuesdays with Morrie, February 5–14, 2027
Jeffrey Hatcher and Mitch Albom adapted the play from Albom's memoir, a book read by more than 18 million people worldwide. Sixteen years out of college, the journalist Albom gets back in touch with Morrie, his old professor, who is nearing the end of his life. A single visit becomes a standing Tuesday appointment, and their talks turn into one last course on life, love and what a person leaves behind.
Len Cariou won his Tony for the title role in the original Broadway production of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street in 1979, after earlier nominations for Applause and A Little Night Music. Television viewers know him from Blue Bloods, which ran from 2010 to 2024. He is joined by Christopher J. Domig, seen in Fleishman Is in Trouble, who is also artistic director of Sea Dog Theater in New York. Erwin Maas directs.
The playhouse is mounting it in association with Sea Dog Theater, and the production won Best Revival at the 13th Annual Off Broadway Alliance Awards.
There are seven performances: Friday, February 5 at 7:30pm; Saturday, February 6 at 7:30pm; Sunday, February 7 at 2pm; Friday, February 12 at 7:30pm; Saturday, February 13 at 2pm and 7:30pm; and Sunday, February 14 at 2pm. Tickets start at $35 from George Street Playhouse.
Get Happy: Angela Ingersoll Sings Judy Garland, March 20–21, 2027
Angela Ingersoll has played Garland in several productions of End of the Rainbow, winning Chicago's Jeff Award and the Los Angeles Times Woman of the Year in Theatre. Her concert tribute, with a live band behind her, was broadcast on PBS and brought her an Emmy nomination.

Performances are Saturday, March 20 at 2pm and 7:30pm, and Sunday, March 21 at 2pm. The concert runs about two hours and five minutes, including a 15-minute intermission.
