Safety Not Guaranteed one of “most promising shows to see in 2026” – Washington Post

The musical adaptation of the 2012 film features music by Guster’s Ryan Miller, who composed the movie’s score, and a book from Nick Blaemire. Like the Aubrey Plaza-starring indie cinema darling, the stage version follows a trio of journalists responding to a classified ad from an oddball searching for his partner in time-traveling crime. After 2024’s world premiere gleaned mixed reviews at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, director Oliver Butler (“What the Constitution Means to Me”)takes the reins for the show’s Signature Theatre venture.   March 10-April 12, 2026 at Signature Theatre, Campbell Avenue, Arlington, VA sigtheatre.org
