“Hold on to Me Darling,” an off-Broadway revival of Kenneth Lonergan’s play starring Adam Driver, has recouped its initial investment.

The show was capitalized at $1.8 million. According to producers Seaview, Sue Wagner and John Johnson, this production of “Hold on to Me Darling” has played to sold-out audiences every night of its 13-week run at the Lucille Lortel Theater in downtown Manhattan since previews began on September 24th . The run ends on December 22nd.

“Hold on to Me Darling” is a comedy about a country music icon named Strings McCrane (Driver) who finds himself in an existential crisis when he learns of his mother’s death. He decides the only way out is to give up his superstar status for a simple life and moves back to his hometown in Tennessee. The cast also includes Heather Burns as Nancy, Adelaide Clemens as Essie, Keith Nobbs as Jimmy, CJ Wilson as Duke and Frank Wood as Mitch.

Driver appeared on the New York stage in revivals of 2019’s “Burn This” with Keri Russell, 2011’s “Man and Boy” and “Mrs. Warren’s profession.” His performance in “Hold on to Me Darling” was highly praised, with Vulture theater critic Sara Holdren writing, “One reason Strings suits Driver like custom couture is Driver’s gift, a kind “To accomplish alchemy with silliness and seriousness.” He can let off steam and act to the extreme at the same time, and he knows that the secret to being funny is when a character wants to be anything but.

Neil Pepe, who directed the show’s first performance at the Atlantic Theater Company in 2016 under the direction of Timothy Olyphant as Strings, returned for this production. It features the creative team Walt Spangler (stage design), Suttirat Larlarb (costume design), Tyler Micoleau (lighting design) and David Van Tiegham (sound design).
