The 19-time Emmy-winning “Succession” ended on May 28, 2023.
However, if you’re still hoping to get a fix, some of your favorite Waystar Royco stars are on Broadway.
From now until Oct. 27, Peter Friedman (Frank Vernon) and Sydney Lemmon (Jennifer, an actress in Willa’s play) are sharing the stage in the buzzy, seriocomic two-hander “Job” at the Helen Hayes Theatre.
Writer Max Wolf Friedlich’s play tells the story of Jane (Lemmon), an overworked employee who goes viral after an on-the-clock meltdown at her California tech job. As a result, she has to meet with laid-back company therapist Loyd (Friedman).
To say any more would spoil the fun of the twisty drama that unfolds over the 80-minute runtime.
“’Job’ will grab you as soon as the lights come on and never lets go with its darkly comedic yet anxiety-inducing insight,“ screenwriter Charlton Villavelez raved.
“Friedlich’s smart and often very funny script actually shares a lot in common with those of Emerald Fennell, the writer-director of the films ‘Promising Young Woman’ and ‘Saltburn,’” the New York Post’s Johnny Oleksinski said.
If this sounds like the mind-bending corporate satire for you, tickets are available for all upcoming performances.

“Job” Broadway tickets
Based on our findings, “Job” has an unconventional Broadway schedule.
The show sometimes goes dark on Sundays; other weeks on Mondays. Matinees take place on odd days of the week, too. Most Saturdays have 2 p.m. early shows; otherwise, the schedule is a bit unpredictable with the occasional 2 p.m. Tuesday and 5 p.m. Thursday performances.

“Job” cast
As mentioned above, there are only two cast members in “Job.”
Here’s a bit more about them outside of their “Succession” bona fides.
Peter Friedman has been acting since the ’70s. Some of his most notable roles include Todd Haynes’ “Safe,” Tamara Jenkins’ “The Savages” and Charlie Kaufman’s “Synecdoche New York.” If you dig far back into the archives you’ll find he also appeared in “Sesame Street” in 1976.
Sydney Lemmon is Jack Lemmon’s granddaughter. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s focus on where you might have seen her these past few years: “Tár,” :Firestarter” and “Velvet Buzzsaw” are her most well-known films she acted in; on the TV side, she appeared in “Fear The Walking Dead” and “Evil.”
