They’ve been waiting for you. A Three’s Company tour—marking the sitcom’s upcoming 50th anniversary on March 15, 2027—will play dates in New York, Dallas, Cleveland, and Los Angeles. It will feature celebrity guests performing a live table read of the original pilot.
The first stop of the Three’s Company Come and Knock on Our Door tour is scheduled for November 2 at Joe’s Pub, the intimate cabaret located within the Public Theater in New York City. Original cast member Joyce DeWitt will co-host alongside John Ritter’s widow, actress Amy Yasbeck. Richard Kline, who originated the role of Larry Dallas, will be the evening’s narrator, alongside Jason Biggs, who steps into Ritter’s iconic role of Jack Tripper, with Christine Taylor as Chrissy Snow, Bellamy Young as Janet Wood, Richard Kind as Stanley Roper, and Susie Essman as Helen Roper.
Following the New York kickoff, the Three’s Company 50th anniversary tour will continue in 2027, with readings in Dallas (February 27), Cleveland (March 13), and Los Angeles (September 9).
Ritter passed away in 2003 from an acute aortic dissection that was initially misdiagnosed. Established in his honor by Amy Yasbeck, The John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health works to prevent premature deaths from aortic dissection through research, education, and advocacy.
The New York event will celebrate Ritter’s comedy legacy, raise funds for aortic health research and support for patients and families, and officially kick off the tour.
“This event is a celebration of John, the joy he brought to all of us through Three’s Company, and the community that continues to carry his memory forward,” said Yasbeck in a statement. “Bringing the show to the stage 50 years later is our way to honor him while helping us continue our mission to save lives through aortic dissection awareness and research.”
“Having been on set during the taping of Three’s Company, I got to see John’s extraordinary physical comedy and warmth firsthand. He brought joy to everyone in that room,” said Donald Taffner Jr., president of DLT Entertainment, producers of the tour. “Bringing these classic scripts back to life on stage is not only a tribute to a show that meant, and continues to mean, so much to millions, but a meaningful way to honor John’s legacy and support lifesaving aortic health research.”
John Ritter, Suzanne Somers, and Joyce DeWitt famously starred in the blockbuster hit sitcom Three’s Company, which debuted in 1977. It also starred Norman Fell and Audra Lindley as The Ropers.
