Here There Are Blueberries opened on Broadway on November 9, 2026, at the Barrymore Theatre on West 47th Street, a week after its first preview. Moisés Kaufman wrote the play with Amanda Gronich and directs it for Tectonic Theater Project. La Jolla Playhouse, home of the 2022 world premiere, co-produces.
The play grows out of a real discovery. In 2007, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum received the photo album of Karl Höcker, an SS officer stationed at Auschwitz. Its pictures, taken in 1944, show the camp's staff relaxing, and not one of them shows a prisoner. On stage, museum researchers work out who the people in the photos were, and descendants of those men and women face what the album shows about their families. After its Off-Broadway run at New York Theatre Workshop in 2024, the play was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and in 2025 it won the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Play.
The Broadway engagement is limited to 80 performances and ends on January 10, 2027. The play lasts about an hour and a half without an intermission, and the production recommends it for ages 12 and up. One practical note: the Barrymore has no elevator. Its single accessible restroom is on the main floor, and the other restrooms are two flights down.
