Gaines, Sanders, Etc. Join Roundabout '07/8 Line-Up
Variety reports that more casting has been set for the Roundabout Theatre Company's 2007/8 season.
Joining the previously announced Jefferson Mays and Claire Danes in George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion will be Tony Award-winner Boyd Gaines (Journey's End) and Jay O. Sanders (upcoming A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Delacorte). Joe Mantello's revival of Terrence McNally's The Ritz will feature Seth Rudetsky ("Seth's Broadway Chatterbox," Actors' Fund concerts), Brooks Ashmanskas (Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me) and adult film star Ryan Idol as well as the previously announced Rosie Perez and Kevin Chamberlin. Ron Cephas Jones (Gem of the Ocean), Sam Robards (Absurd Person Singular) and Linda Powell (On Golden Pond) will star Off-Broadway in J.T. Rogers' The Overwhelming, staged by Max Stafford-Clark, while Gideon Glick (Spring Awakening) and Susan Blackwell ([title of show]) will star in Speech & Debate, directed by Jason Moore as the inaugural production of the company's new black box space.
Pygmalion, the classic Shaw comedy of manners that was the basis of My Fair Lady, will open October 11th at the American Airlines Theatre after beginning previews on September 14th. The Ritz, McNally's comedy set in a Manhattan bathhouse, will begin previews at Studio 54 on September 14th and open on October 11th, as well. The Overwhelming, which concerns an American family in Rwanda in the mid-nineties, will play a limited run at the Laura Pels Theatre from September 28th through December 23rd, with opening night set for October 17th. Speech & Debate will begin at the new 65-seat black box theatre space in the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre on October 5th, with opening night on October 29th.
