Stars in attendance at the opening night show included Bryan Cranston, Hocus Pocus actress Kathy Najimy, Gossip Girl actress Margaret Collin, designer Christian Siriano, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel actress Marin Hinkle, Law and Order: Organized Crime actor Dylan McDermott, In Living Color actress Ali Wentworth, L.A. Law actor Blair Underwood, and Mad About You actor Richard Kind.

Here’s the show synopsis: The existential dramedy stars Debra as “Ernestine Ashworth through nine decades of her life, the Will & Grace actress aging playing ages 17 to 107 — without the aid of prosthetics, makeup, or wigs — as the story follows Ernestine baking a simple butter cake on her birthday each year,” according to EW.

Birthday Candles was originally supposed to open in the spring of 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the Broadway show’s opening for over two years.

The show will run at the American Airlines Theatre until May 29. You can purchase tickets here!
