There Was a 'Schitt's Creek' Reunion at the Broadway Opening of 'The Minutes'

Schitt’s Creek stars Dan Levy and Noah Reid reunited this weekend!

Dan showed up to support Noah at the opening night performance of his Broadway play The Minutes on Sunday (April 17) at Studio 54 in New York City.

The guys met up backstage following the performance!

The Minutes was written by Tracy Letts and his wife Carrie Coon was in the crowd alongside several co-stars from her HBO series The Gilded Age. In attendance were Morgan Spector and his wife Rebecca Hall, Louisa Jacobson, and Ben Ahlers.

More stars who attended the event included new dad Darren Criss, Take Me Out co-stars Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Patrick J. Adams, and Company star Katrina Lenk.

The Minutes, the record-breaking hit production from Steppenwolf Theatre Company, takes a hard look at the inner workings of a city council meeting and the hypocrisy, greed and ambition that bubble to the surface when a newcomer to the small town of Big Cherry starts to ask the wrong questions. Why is someone on the council mysteriously missing? What happened to all those bicycles? Is there skullduggery afoot with the city’s finances? What’s the deal with the available parking space? What the F is going on with the Lincoln Smackdown? And why are the minutes from the last meeting being kept secret?

The new play is running through July 24.
