Bug on Broadway tickets

By: Tracy Letts
Director: David Cromer
Cast list: Carrie Coon (as Agnes White), Namir Smallwood (as Peter Evans), Randall Arney (as Dr. Sweet), Jennifer Engstrom (as R.C.), Steve Key (as Jerry Goss)

Though this is the first Broadway production for Bug, Tracy Letts has worked on Broadway both as a writer and performer, winning Tony Awards in both categories — as the playwright of August: Osage County and as a star of a 2012 revival of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. Carrie Coon made her debut in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, was nominated for a Tony Award, and is now known for her many starring TV roles in hit HBO series.

Bug is the third play in short order to transfer to Broadway from Chicago’s acclaimed Steppenwolf Theater Company, following Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’s Purpose, which won the 2025 Tony Award for Best Play, and Samuel D. Hunter’s Little Bear Ridge Road, on Broadway in fall 2025.
