During an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon last night, Jessica Chastain discussed returning to Broadway in 2023 in a revival of A Doll's House.

Chastain reminisced about the last time she was on Broadway in The Heiress in 2012 and told the story of when her three-legged dog, Chaplain, made his Broadway debut in the production.

"The great thing about live theatre is anything can happen and I think that's part of the feeling with the audience, too. When I go to live theatre, I'm like, 'Oh, there's a pause. Did someone forget their lines?' It's just like this exciting thing," Chastain shared before telling the story.

Chastain also discussed winning an Oscar for The Eyes of Tammy Faye, doing a potential Death Becomes Her remake with Anne Hathaway, and more. Watch the new interview below!

A Doll's House thrust drama firmly into the modern age when it premiered in 1879. Now, nearly a century-and-a-half later, Tony Award nominee Jamie Lloyd and acclaimed playwright Amy Herzog will make freshly relevant a story that shocked audiences and brought forth a new era of theater.

One of the most acclaimed actors of her generation, Jessica Chastain will inhabit one of the theater's most iconic roles, re-energizing the play for a whole new generation.

Production dates, theater, ticketing information, creative team, and additional casting for A Doll's House will be announced shortly. To sign up to receive the latest news about A Doll's House on Broadway, please visit www.adollshousebway.com.
