‘ULSTER AMERICAN’ On the Irish Rep stage, Matthew Broderick is something close to a regular. This time around, in a satire by David Ireland, he plays Jay Conway, a wildly inappropriate, impressively ignorant American movie star, set to perform in a London play whose premise he has misconstrued. Max Baker and Geraldine Hughes portray his colleagues, an English director and a Northern Irish playwright, in this production by Ciaran O’Reilly. March 6-May 10, Irish Repertory Theater.
‘TRASH’ This comedy about deaf, odd-couple roommates casts its authors as co-stars: James Caverly, best known for playing Theo Dimas, son to Nathan Lane’s Teddy, on the Hulu series “Only Murders in the Building,” and Andrew Morrill, who won an Obie as director of artistic sign language on the play “Dark Disabled Stories.” Performed mainly in American Sign Language, with open captioning. Nathaniel P. Claridad directs for Out of the Box Theatrics. March 7-28, Perelman Performing Arts Center.
‘MONTE CRISTO’ Starring Adam Jacobs (“The Who’s Tommy”) as Edmund opposite Sierra Boggess as Mercedes, and with Norm Lewis and Karen Ziemba among the cast, Peter Kellogg and Stephen Weiner’s adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’s classic adventure novel makes its world premiere. Peter Flynn directs for the York Theater. March 12-April 5, Theater at St. Jean’s.
‘TITUS ANDRONICUS’ Even for Shakespeare, who had no qualms about ending his plays with loads of dead bodies on the stage, this revenge tragedy is gruesomely violent. Patrick Page, an expert at blood-chilling terror, plays the titular Roman general in this Red Bull Theater production, directed by Jesse Berger. March 17-April 19, Pershing Square Signature Center.
‘NO SINGING IN THE NAVY’ Milo Cramer’s new musical comedy keeps things simple with its tale of sailors on 24-hour leave: three actors, one piano and one critically minded sendup of classic musicals. Aysan Celik directs. March 18-April 19, Playwrights Horizons.
‘THE WILD PARTY’ An intriguing idea, a sparkly cast, a disappointing Broadway run — Michael John LaChiusa and George C. Wolfe’s 1920s-decadence, jazz-and-vaudeville musical had all of those back in 2000, when it was new. But taking another look is what New York City Center Encores! is all about. Jasmine Amy Rogers, Adrienne Warren, Claybourne Elder, Jelani Alladin, Jordan Donica and Tonya Pinkins — a star of the original production — are among the cast of this revival, directed by Lili-Anne Brown. March 18-29, New York City Center.
