Three-time Tony Award winner Patti LuPone will return to the New York stage in 2027 playing former Vogue editor-in-chief Diana Vreeland in a new Off-Broadway production of the one-woman play Full Gallop, written by Mark Hampton and Mary Louise Wilson.
Directed by Gordon Greenberg (Rope, The Baker’s Wife), the 12-week engagement will begin previews January 8, 2027, at NY City Center Stage II. Opening night is set for January 17.
The solo show, follows Vreeland, who “turned fashion into an empire,” according to press notes. When she is “unceremoniously fired as editor-in-chief of Vogue, she must reinvent herself, and her industry, yet again.”
After its world premiere at San Diego’s Old Globe Theatre in 1995, Full Gallop had its New York premiere at MTC’s Stage II, where it now returns. That earlier production, which starred co-author Wilson, eventually played an extended run Off-Broadway at the Westside Theatre.
Additional creative team members will be announced at a later date. General management is by Baseline Theatrical.
LuPone won Tonys for her performances in Evita, the 2008 revival of Gypsy, and the recent revival of Company; she won her first Olivier Award for her work in The Cradle Will Rock and Les Misérables, and her second for the 2019 London revival of Company.
Aaron Glick and No Guarantees Productions produce, in association with Manhattan Theatre Club.
Tickets for Full Gallop will go on sale at a later date. Sign up at FullGallopLive.com for information. The production will be included in MTC’s six-play subscriptions. For a limited time, the production will also be offered for advance purchase to select MTC Subscribers and Patrons as a special add-on event.
