Aya Cash might have only just made her Broadway debut, but the Giant star is no stranger to the New York City stage. This year, she earned a Tony nomination for her breakthrough role opposite John Lithgow in Giant .

"It's very special because I've been in the New York theatre scene for 20 years," she explained. "To be able to come to Broadway with a show that I think is so, so beautiful and to have that acknowledged by the community that I love feels very special."

The Lost Boys

Four-time Tony nominated and Olivier Award-winning Best Play, GIANT, has recouped its $5.6 million Broadway capitalization just 10 weeks into its planned 16-week limited engagement on Broadway.

Giant, the new play starring John Lithgow as Roald Dahl, will be released in cinemas later this year. The Olivier Award-winning and Tony-nominated play was recorded at London’s Harold Pinter Theatre.

Following the Wednesday, May 20, 2026 7:30 PM ET performance of Giant on Broadway, starring John Lithgow, John Lithgow, Aya Cash, and Mark Rosenblatt will join a conversation with Taffy Brodesser-Akner hosted by 92NY.

Playwright Mark Rosenblatt, who wrote the play Giant that is now running on Broadway, has signed with CAA. Rosenblatt, a theater and film writer and director, won the Olivier Award for Giant when it had its premiere in the West End in 2024.
