Eureka Day on Broadway Background
The show was written and performed pre-covid, but still speaks to all virus outbreaks and the way in which human relationships can get in the way of logic and science.
The show was first staged in 2018 in Berkeley, Calif., and generated both box office and critical acclaim. It then went on to appear on the West End in London 06 Sep – 31 Oct 2022 in which Helen Hunt took on a lead role.
