Oslo is a 2016 play by J.T. Rogers.

The world premiere production opened on July 11, 2016 at Lincoln Center Theater’s Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater, following previews from June 16. It was directed by Bartlett Sher. The production starred Jennifer Ehle and Jefferson Mays. The cast also included Michael Aronov, Adam Dannheisser, Daniel Jenkins, Dariush Kashani, Daniel Oreskes, Henry Russell, Joseph Siravo and T. Ryder Smith.

Oslo transferred to Broadway and opened at the Vivian Beaumont Theater on April 13, 2017. Director Bartlett Sher as well as the entire original Off-Broadway cast reprised their roles in the Broadway production.

Of the new, larger production, Ben Brantley of The New York Times wrote that "J. T. Rogers’s 'Oslo,' an against-the-odds story of international peacemaking, is undeniably a big play, as expansive and ambitious as any in recent Broadway history. So it is particularly gratifying to announce that it has been allowed to stretch to its full height in the thrilling production that opened on Thursday night, directed with a master’s hand by Bartlett Sher."

The play will open at the Royal National Theatre in September 2017 before transferring to the West End’s Harold Pinter Theatre from September 30 to January 6.

The play was nominated for the 2017 Lucille Lortel Awards, Outstanding Play, Bartlett Sher was nominated for Outstanding Director, Jennifer Ehle was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Play and Michael Aronov was nominated for Outstanding Featured Actor in a Play.
