Below, BroadwayWorld brings you a first look at the new cast in action!

Terrence McNally's It's Only A Play recently welcomed Tony and Emmy winner Martin Short, 2-time Tony winner Katie Finneran, and "30 Rock" alum Maulik Pancholy, who join original cast members F.Murray Abraham, Matthew Broderick, Stockard Channing and Micah Stock. 3-time Tony Award winner Jack O'Brien directs.

In It's Only A Play, it's opening night of Peter Austin's (Matthew Broderick) new play as he anxiously awaits to see if his show is a hit. With his career on the line, he shares his big First Night with his best friend, a television star (Martin Short), his fledgling producer (Katie Finneran), his erratic leading lady (Stockard Channing), his wunderkind director (Maulik Pancholy), an infamous drama critic (F. Murray Abraham), and a fresh-off-the-bus coat check attendant (Micah Stock) on his first night in Manhattan. It's alternately raucous, ridiculous and tender - and proves that sometimes the biggest laughs happen offstage.

The design team for It's Only A Play includes scenic design by Tony winner Scott Pask, costume design by Academy Award and Tony winner Ann Roth, lighting design by Philip Rosenberg, and sound design by Fitz Patton.
