Broadway's Seth Numrich Joins Kim Cattrall in the Old Vic's SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH, Beg. Tonight

Seth Numrich, star of Broadway's War Horse and Golden Boy, will join Kim Cattrall in the Old Vic's production of Tennessee Williams' Sweet Bird of Youth, directed by Marianne Elliott (War Horse). The production is set to begin tonight, June 12.

Numrich will play 'Chance Wayne'. Sweet Bird of Youth opens in the Gulf Coast hotel suite of Princess Kosmonopolis, an aging Hollywood starlet, and Chance, an actor-turned-gigolo pushing 30. Chance has just brought the Princess to his hometown after the disastrous premiere of her latest film, and hopes to use her fame and connections to win back his former love, Heavenly, whose powerful father Boss Finley drove him out of town years earlier. But when a mistake from his past resurfaces, Chance's plan quickly unravels and the pair are forced to confront their crumbling dreams.

Numrich last appeared in the Lincoln Center Theater's 2012 production of Golden Boy. That same year, he took the stage in off-Broadway's Yosemite at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater. In 2011 he starred as 'Albert' in War Horse on Broadway. He has also appeared in Broadway's The Merchant of Venice and Iphigenia 2.0 off-Broadway.

Numrich's TV credits include the series Gravity and an episode of The Good Wife. On the big screen, he has appeared in How to Kill a Mockingbird, and the documentaries Blessed Is the Match: The Life and Death of Hannah Senesh and Independent Lens, as well as Private Romeo.

Cattrall, an international star of film, TV and stage, starred as Amanda in Sir Richard Eyre's production of Private Lives at London's Vaudeville Theatre in 2010 and Toronto's Royal Alexandra Theatre prior to Broadway. She made her Broadway debut in Wild Honey with Sir Ian McKellen.
