Her majesty’s traveling road show will come to New York on February 17 of next year, where Mirren will reprise her award-winning performance in the London production of the _The Audience_, the Wall Street _Journal_ [reports](http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2014/08/06/the-audience-starring-helen-mirren-to-come-to-broadway-in-spring-2015/). The play re-imagines private meetings between the queen (the real one, not Mirren) and 12 prime ministers over the course of her 60-year reign. Mirren won an Olivier Award for her sold out performances in London as well as an Oscar for her performance in _The Queen_. \[[_WSJ_](http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2014/08/06/the-audience-starring-helen-mirren-to-come-to-broadway-in-spring-2015/)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3086921/helen-mirren-broadway/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3086921/helen-mirren-broadway/"},"headline":"Helen Mirren's Coming to Broadway as Queen Elizabeth II","datePublished":"2014-08-06T19:22:20.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T09:32:13.784Z","description":"Elizabeth II, Round III","url":"https://time.com/3086921/helen-mirren-broadway/","keywords":["celebrities","broadway","Queen Elizabeth II","Helen Mirren","Royalty"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt41c3d4afbe0831d3/69869e9bcd804dc4a5ccc405/113884391.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Dan Kedmey","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/dan-kedmey/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt41c3d4afbe0831d3/69869e9bcd804dc4a5ccc405/113884391.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Young People And The Performing Arts - reception","caption":"Young People And The Performing Arts - reception","creditText":"Dominic Lipinski — WPA Pool/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3086921/helen-mirren-broadway/","name":"Helen Mirren's Coming to Broadway as Queen Elizabeth II"}}]}] ```
