Letters Live

Letters Live returns to The Town Hall in Midtown, Manhattan, for a run of three completely unique back-to-back shows on the May 31, June 1 and June 2, 2025, each enchanting New Yorkers with the enduring power of literary correspondence. Every Letters Live performance is a one-of-a-kind experience, with a different array of incredible performers reading remarkable letters written over the centuries and from around the world, authored by luminaries as varied as David Bowie to Charlotte Brontë, Che Guevara to Mohandas Gandhi.

One of the joys of Letters Live is that you never know who is going to take to the stage or which letter they are going to bring alive. The result is a glorious event like no other and a truly unforgettable journey through time that will one moment have you roaring with laughter, and the next moved to tears.

The performers’ identities will remain a closely guarded secret until the moment they take to the stage. Previous New York shows have welcomed talent including Lawrence Fishburne, Patti Smith, Peter Dinklage, Cynthia Erivo, Katie Holmes, Benedict Cumberbatch and Christian Slater, just to name a few.
