In addition, Ali Ahn plays the role of Susan Johnston, Leighton Bryan plays the roles of Jill/Debbie/Lisa, Tracee Chimo (Lips Together, Teeth Apart, "Orange Is The New Black," Bad Jews) plays the roles of Fran/Molly/Betsy/April, Elise Kibler plays the roles of Becky/Clara/Denise, and Andy Truschinski plays the roles of Chris Boxer/Mark/Waiter/Ray.
The Heidi Chronicles is the poignant coming-of-age story of three iconic decades of American culture: the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Through Heidi Holland, now a successful art historian, Wendy Wassersteinlooks back on the promises of a generation in the Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning work that established her voice in the canon of quintessential theater forever. In its first Broadway revival -- a bold reimagining -- The Heidi Chronicles charts 19 characters through 13 scenes in 3 decades and 4 cities, as three unlikely friends come to realize that the fight for what you believe in can bring you a long way... maybe.
