Tickets for Frost/Nixon Now On Sale to Am Ex Holders

Tickets for Frost/Nixon, the new play by Peter Morgan, directed by Michael Grandage, are now available to holders of American Express cards.  They will go on sale to the general public on February 10th.

Starring Frank Langella (as President Richard Nixon) and Michael Sheen (as Sir David Frost), Frost/Nixon, which has received three Olivier Award nominations including Best New Play, will open on Broadway on April 22, 2007 at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre (242 West 45th Street) with preview performances beginning March 31, 2007. This is a limited engagement for 20 weeks only.

In addition to Langella and Sheen, the cast features Remy Auberjonois (John Birt); Shira Gregory (Evonne Goolagong); Corey Johnson (Jack Brennan); Stephen Kunken (Jim Reston); Stephen Rowe (Swifty Lazar/Mike Wallace); Triney Sandoval (Manolo Sanchez); Armand Schultz (Bob Zelnick); Sonya Walger (Caroline Cushing).

Frost/Nixon recently transferred to London's West End following a sold-out run at the Donmar Warehouse. Prior to coming to Broadway, the production is playing at the Gielgud Theatre through February 3, 2007. Frank Langella and Michael Sheen have also each received Best Actor Olivier Award nominations for their roles in Frost/Nixon.

"Frost/Nixon tackles the question: How did David Frost, a famous British talk-show host with a playboy reputation, elicit the apology that the rest of the world was waiting to hear from former President Richard Nixon? The fast-paced new play shows the determination, conviction and cunning of two men as they square off in one of the most monumental political interviews of all time," state production notes.

Designs for Frost/Nixon are by Christopher Oram, with lighting by Neil Austin, and the music and sound score by Adam Cork. Video design is by Jon Driscoll. The show will be produced on Broadway by Matthew Byam Shaw, Arielle Tepper Madover, Robert Fox and Act Productions.
