Roy Gabay and Susan Dietz, in association with Second Stage Theatre, will present The Little Dog Laughed on Broadway. 

The play began previews at Second Stage on December 13th, opened on January 9th and played to February 26th after having been extended. "Yes, we love the cinema for its great auteurs, its glorious faces, its daring images. But in this tabloid age where big stars go on Oprah and jump around like heartsick schoolboys, what we really love is all that dish!!! Carter Beane's players in The Little Dog Laughed includes a Hollywood agent, her very promising, up-and-coming boy-toy client, a sexy young drifter, and the drifter's girlfriend," stated press notes.
