The play made its North American premiere ahead of their Broadway bow at American Repertory Theater at Harvard University. The work's West End production took home five 2022 Olivier Awards, including Best Play and Best Supporting Actor, with the latter awarded collectively to the team of puppeteers who play the tiger.

In Life of Pi, a cargo ship has sunk in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, leaving behind five survivors in a lifeboat. The play is written by Lolita Chakrabarti and is based on Yann Martel’s best-selling novel, winner of the Man Booker Prize.

The character is male in the book Life of Pi, which the show is based on, but the stage version has cast actors of both genders in the role. Paranjpe, who is usually in the show's ensemble, was also the Pi understudy at the show's pre-Broadway run at American Repertory Theater.
This announcement is unusual because it will be the first time the role of Pi (normally played by a male actor), will be played by a female actor on Broadway. Paranjpe takes over for the show's lead Hiran Abeysekera and the alternate Pi, Adi Dixit. She's about to go on a journey! Uma Paranjpe is playing the title role of Pi Patel in Life of Pion Broadway for its May 9 performance.
