Broadway is back, but not in New York: “Hamilton,” “Frozen,” “Come From Away” and “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” are all safely up and running in Australia, and “Moulin Rouge! The Musical” is starting rehearsals there. Join Times theater reporter Michael Paulson and Australia bureau chief Damien Cave for an exploration of how the reopening is working, and what it means for New York and the West End.

Watch the cast of “Frozen” perform “Let It Go” from Sydney, and the “Come From Away” ensemble deliver a passionate rendition of “Me and the Sky”, from the stage of Her Majesty’s Theater in Melbourne.

Australia bureau chief Damien Cave will discuss performance and protocols with the Australian stars Jemma Rix, who plays Elsa in “Frozen,” and Gareth Reeves, who plays Harry Potter in “The Cursed Child,” as well as with American actor Sharriese Hamilton, who relocated to Australia to find work in “Come From Away.”

And we’ll talk about what it all means with some of the industry’s most innovative producers, including Carmen Pavlovic of “Moulin Rouge!,” Jeffrey Seller of “Hamilton” and Sue Frost of “Come From Away.”

Plus: we’ll hear from Australian theater lovers, some of whom you might recognize, and some of whom are just eager to see a show.

It’s all part of the next episode of Offstage, our series about theatermaking during the pandemic.

The fourth title selected for T Magazine’s book club, “The Talented Mr. Ripley” by Patricia Highsmith, tells the story of a young American grifter in Italy. Tom Ripley arrives in the fictional town of Mongibello with the assigned task of convincing Dickie Greenleaf, the son of a shipping magnate, to return to the States. Instead, Tom — seduced by the ease with which charming, wealthy Dickie is able to move through life — becomes his constant companion. But Tom’s fondness for and envy of his new friend grow to the point of obsession, and he soon raises the stakes of the confidence game he’s been playing all along.

On April 22, watch a virtual discussion about the book, featuring the writer Edmund White in conversation with T features director Thessaly La Force, that will address questions from readers. And, in the weeks leading up to the event, look for articles on “The Talented Mr. Ripley” at tmagazine.com. We hope you'll read along — and R.S.V.P. above.

Cancel culture has held the powerful to account. It’s also ended careers and ruined lives. Can crowd-sourced morality change society for the better? Or is this just mob justice, taken to a social media–powered extreme? We have opinions.

Join us as Trevor Noah, host of “The Daily Show,” Kara Swisher, host of “Sway” podcast; Jane Coaston, host of “The Argument”; and Ezra Klein, host of “The Ezra Klein Show,” team up to tackle one of today’s thorniest topics — from the societal pros and cons of cancellation to what role (if any) big tech should play in this cultural phenomenon.

Kara will then swear you to secrecy, and share a special sneak peek from an upcoming episode of “Sway.” Whether you’re a fan of the podcasts, or just a fan of snappy conversation, you won’t want to miss it.
