Following the first preview of Three Days of Rain at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, Julia Roberts stopped to sign autographs for her fans (and give a quick smile for our cameras).
The Richard Greenberg play began previews on March 28th and will open on April 19th in a 12-week
limited engagement through June 18th.
Paul Rudd and Bradley Cooper co-star with Roberts in the play, which is helmed by Tony Award-winner Joe Mantello (Wicked, Assassins). "Three Days of Rain centers on Walker (Rudd), his sister Nan (Roberts) and their childhood friend Pip
(Cooper), who all meet in New York to divide the legacy of
their late fathers, who were partners in a renowned architecture firm.
In an effort to bring some peace to their own lives, the three search
for clues that might explain what had gone on between their fathers,
and the women in their lives, decades before. The story then shifts to
that earlier time, with the same three actors portraying the previous
generation," according to press notes for the play, which was first produced Off-Broadway at Manhattan Theatre Club in 1997. Patricia Clarkson played Roberts' roles.
