Not since CAROUSEL's Mr. Snow sang of his plans to get rich off of sardines has salty herring figured so prominently on Broadway as in Michael Frayn's uproarious comedy, NOISES OFF.
But have any of the cast members of Roundabout's new revival, now in previews, actually eaten sardines? Perhaps not, as seen in this very funny video, where canfulls of the little treats are placed before Rob McClure, Jeremy Shamos, Andrea Martin, David Furr, Campbell Scott and Tracee Chimo.
Roundabout Theatre Company's new production of Noises Off officially on Thursday, January 14, 2016. This is a limited engagement through Sunday, March 6, 2016 on Broadway at the American Airlines Theatre on Broadway (227 West 42nd Street).
The cast includes Andrea Martin as "Dotty Otley", Campbell Scott as "Lloyd Dallas,"Tracee Chimo as "Poppy Norton-Taylor,"Daniel Davis as "Selsdon Mowbray," David Furr as "Garry Lejeune," Kate Jennings Grant as "Belinda Blair," Megan Hilty as "Brooke Ashton," Rob McClure as "Tim Allgood" and Jeremy Shamos as "Frederick Fellowes." Tony nominee Jeremy Herrin will direct the new Broadway production as part of Roundabout Theatre Company's 50th anniversary season.
The creative team for NOISES OFF includes: Derek McLane (Sets), Michael Krass (Costumes), Jane Cox (Lighting) and Christopher Cronin (Sound).
NOISES OFF premiered on Broadway in 1983 and was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play. The original production ran more than 550 performances and was lauded as "the funniest show on Broadway" (The New York Times).
Full of shocking surprises and gut-busting humor, NOISES OFF is the classic show-within-a-show. The opening night performance of the farce Nothing On is just hours away, and as the cast stumbles through their final dress rehearsal, things couldn't be going any worse. With lines being forgotten, love triangles unraveling and sardines flying everywhere, it's complete pandemonium...and we haven't even reached intermission! Can the cast pull their act together on the stage even if they can't behind the scenes?
