GOINGS ON ABOUT TOWN

Ever since Nora, the heroine of Henrik Ibsen’s proto-feminist masterwork “A Doll’s House,” from 1879, walked out on her husband and out of her domestic cage, actresses have yearned to play her. Jessica Chastain (above, center), last year’s Best Actress Oscar winner, steps into the role for a sixteen-week Broadway run, now in previews at the Hudson, opening March 9. Jamie Lloyd directs a new adaptation, by Amy Herzog, featuring (from left to right) Arian Moayed (“Succession”) and Okieriete Onaodowan (“Hamilton”).
