Exclusive: The Woman in Black, a West End theater staple for 30 years, will make its long-in-coming New York return in January at The McKittrick Hotel, home of the popular, similarly immersive Sleep No More production.
An eight-week run of London’s endurable ghost play will begin previews January 8, with an official opening on January 23.

The play was staged Off Broadway at the Minetta Lane Theatre for two months in 2001. (A previous version of this article incorrectly stated the upcoming production would be New York’s first.)
