Sarah Paulson and Pedro Pascal to Reunite on Broadway in ‘The Goat’
Broadway fans are in a frenzy following the announcement that acclaimed actors Sarah Paulson and Pedro Pascal are set to star in a revival of Edward Albee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia?. The production, directed by Tony and Pulitzer Prize winner James Lapine, is slated to hit the stage in January 2027.
A Decades-Long Friendship
This production is particularly exciting as it marks a significant moment for Sarah Paulson and Pedro Pascal, who share a friendship spanning over three decades. Their connection began in New York City in 1993, and has been a source of mutual support throughout their careers. In fact, Paulson famously provided financial assistance to Pascal during challenging times early in his career, demonstrating the depth of their bond.
From Off-Broadway to Hollywood Stardom
Both actors have impressive stage and screen credentials. Pedro Pascal made his Broadway debut in 2019 with a compelling performance in King Lear, following years of dedicated work in off-Broadway productions and television. He’s currently enjoying immense success in Hollywood with roles in critically acclaimed series like The Last of Us and upcoming projects including The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Avengers: Doomsday, and The Mandalorian & Grogu.
Sarah Paulson is a celebrated Broadway veteran, with notable credits including The Glass Menagerie, Collected Stories, and Appropriate, for which she won a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play. She’s also a Primetime Emmy Award and Golden Globe Award winner, and a recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
A Master Director at the Helm
The revival will be directed by James Lapine, a highly respected figure in the theater world. Lapine’s accolades include three Tony Awards for his work on Into the Woods, Passion, and Falsettos, as well as the 1985 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for Sunday in the Park with George, co-written with Stephen Sondheim. You can learn more about Lapine’s work on PBS.
The Buzz Around ‘The Goat’
The news originated from Franklin & Marshall College, where Lapine is an alumnus, during the renaming of their Green Room Theatre to the James Lapine Theater. The announcement has sent ripples of excitement through the theater community, with fans eagerly anticipating the opportunity to witness this dynamic duo – Sarah Paulson and Pedro Pascal – share the stage.
