Shailene Woodley Heads To Broadway? Reports Suggest Actress To Appear In Cult Of Love

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for the arts and a rich background in cinema, I must say that the upcoming Broadway play, Cult of Love, promises to be a captivating spectacle. The star-studded cast, led by Shailene Woodley and Zachary Quinto, is nothing short of a dream team. Their previous collaborations, such as Snowden, have only heightened my anticipation for their on-stage chemistry.


Actress Shailene Woodley will make her Broadway debut by appearing alongside Zachary Quinto in the upcoming production titled “Cult of Love”. The Second Stage Theater officially revealed the play and its cast on Wednesday, September 18, with Shailene Woodley from “Divergent” being one of the listed performers.

The play features John Quinto, who previously worked alongside the actress in the movie thriller Snowden. Moreover, the cast of this drama boasts Barbie Ferreira, Christopher Lowell, Molly Bernard, and Rebecca Henderson in key roles. Additionally, potential newcomers to the team include theater artists Christopher Sears and Roberta Colindrez. The producers are yet to finalize two more positions.

Leslye Headland is going to pen the script, while Trip Cullman will assume the director’s role. The narrative focuses on two grown-up siblings revisiting their childhood residence, evoking fond memories of their past.

As an overly enthusiastic fan, I can’t contain my excitement upon learning from Second Stage Theater’s synopsis that the upcoming drama will delve into a family’s time-honored traditions. These customs, it seems, involve bursting into beautiful carol harmonies at the slightest prompt. Yet, this gathering, far from being in harmony, appears to be anything but tranquil. Deep-rooted conflicts reemerge, fresh disputes flare up, and dinner – oh, the agonizing wait for that delicious meal to finally arrive!

The text continues to question if the affection shared among the Dahl family members will be strong enough to help them overcome their disagreements, or if this Christmas could mark the end of their time together.

Apart from being recognized for her acting role in “The Fault in Our Stars,” Sharon Horgan (also known as Headland) is set to make her first appearance as a Broadway writer. In terms of her career in television writing, Headland has gained acclaim for her contributions to the Star Wars series, The Acolyte, Russian Doll, and the Emmy-winning show starring Natasha Lyonne.

In regard to her other ventures, the actress known for Big Little Lies is presently featured in the TV series Three Women, which has been praised by Starz. Alongside her, the show boasts the talents of DeWanda Wise and Betty Gilpin.

For her upcoming projects, Woodley has been roped in to play the lead role in the Prime Video movie Killer Heat. The actress will star opposite Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Richard Madden. 

For Zachary Quinto, the actor will next be seen in NBC’s medical drama, Brilliant Minds. 

Cult of Love will open on Broadway on November 20.
