Carol Burnett Joins LOVE LETTERS Today

Stage and screen legend Carol Burnett will soon join two-time Tony Award winner Brian Dennehy in the smash hit production of A.R. Gurney's enduring romance about first loves and second chances,Love Letters- a strictly limited four week engagement on today, October 11, 2014 at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre (256 West 47th Street).

LOVE LETTERS opened to rave reviews on Thursday, September 18, 2014, with the New York Times exclaiming ""The dying art of putting pen to paper to exchange news is being celebrated on Broadway," with The Hollywood Reporter adding, ""LOVE LETTERS is that rare work whose emotional richness requires no embellishment in order to become a full-bodied theatrical experience. All that's needed are gifted actors."

A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, A.R. Gurney's Love Letters became an instant smash hit that was performed all over the country. The universality of the piece quickly led to the play being translated into 24 languages. In the last 26 years, productions of Love Letters have played in over 40 countries around the world.

LOVE LETTERS is a disarmingly funny and unforgettably emotional portrait about the powerful connection of love. Two friends, rebellious Melissa Gardner and straight-arrow Andrew Makepeace Ladd III have exchanged notes, cards and letters with each other for over 50 years. From second grade, through summer vacations, to college, and well into adulthood, they have spent a lifetime discussing their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, and victories and defeats. But long after the letters are done, the real question remains: Have they made the right choices or is the love of their life only a letter away?
