I Need That
About the Show
Sam doesn’t get out much. Actually, he doesn’t get out at all, opting instead for the safety of his house in the company of his things—his many, many things. But when a notice from the government arrives alerting Sam that he must clean up his property or face eviction, he’s forced to reckon with what’s trash, what’s treasure, and whether we can ever know the difference between the two.
Danny DeVito returns to Roundabout Theatre Company in I NEED THAT, starring alongside his daughter, Lucy DeVito, and Ray Anthony Thomas in a deeply human new comedy from playwright Theresa Rebeck and director Moritz von Stuelpnagel, the team behind Bernhardt/Hamlet.

About the Theatre
Todd Haimes Theatre
227 W 42nd St
New York, NY 10036
Originally named The Selwyn Theatre, The American Airlines Theatre was built in 1918 by producers of the same name. In the 1930s it was converted to a movie house after suffering hard times due to the Great Depression.
The venue was purchased by the Roundabout Theatre Company in the late 1990s. It was extensively renovated and opened as The American Airlines theatre in 2000.
In June 2023, Roundabout announced they would rename the theatre the Todd Haimes Theatre who worked to grow Roundabout for 40 years.
