Dive behind the scenes of one of Hollywood’s most iconic films! In The Shark Is Broken, audiences are transported to the summer of 1974, when Steven Spielberg’s Jaws was plagued by endless delays, mechanical malfunctions, and clashing egos.

Filled with biting wit, hilarious banter, and surprising humanity, this Broadway hit offers a clever peek into the making of a blockbuster that almost never was. Witty, sharp, and larger-than-life, The Shark Is Broken is a laugh-out-loud play about movie magic, artistic rivalry, and what happens when the star of the show won’t cooperate.
