Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County and Zoetic Stage will present the Florida premiere of Matthew Lopez\u2019s award-winning epic, The Inheritance, Part 1.<\/p>\n

The most honored American play in a generation, The Inheritance is a powerful story about love, legacy and what it means to be gay in America today. The play has been described as a spiritual successor to Tony Kushner\u2019s Angels in America, and will play in the intimate Carnival Studio Theater as part of the Arsht Theater Up Close season from Jan. 8 to 25, 2026.<\/p>\n

Tickets to The Inheritance, Part 1 are $67-73 and may be purchased now at arshtcenter.org or at the Arsht box office by calling 305-949-6722.<\/p>\n

Zoetic Stage\u2019s production of The Inheritance, Part 1 is generously supported by the Warten Foundation and OurFund.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving the opportunity to bring this magnificent piece of theater to the South Florida community is thrilling,\u201d said Zoetic Stage artistic director Stuart Meltzer. \u201cMatthew L\u00f3pez wrote a masterpiece exploring generations of gay men and the legacies that each leaves behind. Written exquisitely with bravery, beauty and bravado, The Inheritance Part 1 promises to be a theatrical event that will long be remembered.\u201d<\/p>\n

Winner of both the Tony Award and Olivier Award for Best Play, Drama Desk Award and Drama League Award for Outstanding Play, and Critic\u2019s Circle Award for Outstanding New Broadway Play, Matthew L\u00f3pez\u2019s two-part epic tells the story of three generations of gay men in New York navigating love, loss and legacy in the wake of the AIDS epidemic. The play was inspired by E. M. Forster\u2019s novel Howards End, which told the story of three families navigating social constructs, class and relationships in turn-of-the-century England.<\/p>\n

L\u00f3pez reimagines the story with gay men from different generations standing in for Forster\u2019s straight people from different classes.<\/p>\n

The production has an all-gay cast featuring award-winning actors from South Florida and New York, including Alex Weisman, Anthony Michael Martinez, Michael McKeever, Tom Wahl, Aidan Paul, Imran Hylton, Alberto Blanco, Caio Ferreira Santos, Sam Lantz, Randall Swinton, Larry Toyter and Angel Dominguez.<\/p>\n

Matthew L\u00f3pez was and raised in Panama City, FL, and attended the University of South Florida in Tampa. He is the first Latino writer to win the Tony Award for Best Play. In 2023, he was nominated for a Tony Award for co-writing the book for the musical Some Like It Hot, which was the most-nominated musical that season. He made his feature directing debut with the movie adaptation of the popular novel Red, White and Royal Blue, which spent several weeks at No. 1 on Amazon Prime.<\/p>\n
