At Broadway Opening Night, Brandon Flynn Celebrates Acclaimed Play Here There Are Blueberries
Opening night in New York
Flynn, 33, attended the opening night of Here There Are Blueberries at the Barrymore Theatre in New York City. He was joined on the red carpet by co-stars Scott Barrow, Michelle Beck, Michael Cerveris, Kathleen Chalfant, Delia Cunningham, Montego Glover and Conrad Ricamora.
Flynn is known for roles in Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why and Apple TV’s Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed. The opening took place Monday night, November 9.
A mystery behind the photographs
The play centers on an album of photographs from the Nazi era that arrived at a U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum archivist’s desk in 2007. Museum curators investigated the images, which were unlike those previously seen.
The discovery drew headlines and prompted debate beyond the museum. Based on real events, the production examines what the photographs show about Holocaust perpetrators and human nature.
Earlier acclaim and Broadway run
Here There Are Blueberries premiered Off-Broadway in 2024 in a co-production with New York Theatre Workshop. The original New York production became a Pulitzer Prize finalist and received two Lucille Lortel Awards, including Outstanding Play.
It also received nominations for Outstanding New Play from the Outer Critics Circle Awards and the Drama League Awards. The Broadway engagement is set to last 10 weeks and conclude Sunday, January 10, 2027.

Barrow, one of Flynn’s co-stars, helped devise the play. He has appeared in every major production across New York, Washington, D.C., London and Broadway.
