Laura Donnelly Gets Rave Reviews for Her Return to Broadway in 'The Hills of California'

Laura Donnelly has teamed up with director Sam Mendes and playwright Jez Butterworth again, six years after their hit show The Ferryman became a smash hit on Broadway.

The actress, best known for starring in The Nevers and Werewolf By Night, is getting rave reviews for her performance in the new play, which celebrated its opening night performance on Sunday (September 29) in New York City.

Stepping out on the red carpet for the opening show were Sam and Jez, as well as M. Night Shyamalan with his family, Tony nominee Micaela Diamond, Daniel Dae Kim, and Clark Gregg.

A Man Called Otto actress Kelly Lamor Wilson was also there to support her Broadway debut as a producer. “Making my Broadway Debut with this show is a dream come true,” she wrote on Instagram Stories.

Time Out New York notes that the play is an “extraordinary showcase” for Laura and Entertainment Weekly says she gives “a commanding and versatile centerpiece performance.”

The Hills of California is playing a limited run on Broadway through December 22. Get tickets now!
