Emmy winner Wayne Brady is everywhere these days: from his hit improv show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" to his daily game show "Let's Make a Deal" to Kinky Boots on Broadway and "White Rabbit, Red Rabbit," a one-night-only play whose script he'll see for the first time only as he's about to hit the stage. The actor stopped by NBC's TODAY to talk about his latest projects - watch the appearance below!

Today, Maberry Theatricals announced the second wave of stars and dates for the New York premiere of WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT, the internationally-acclaimed play by Nassim Soleimanpour. Four-time Emmy Award winner Wayne Brady will perform on April 4; Emmy, Grammy and Tony Award winner Cynthia Nixon on April 18; and Emmy & Tony Award winner Martin Short on May 2. WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT will play Monday evenings in a limited engagement atWestside Theatre (407 W 43rd Street), beginning March 7, 2016.

No rehearsal. No director. No set. No spoilers. A different performer each night is handed the script for the first time as they step onto the stage. The rotating cast, each performing only one time ever, also features the previously announced: Emmy & Tony Award winner Nathan Lane (March 7); Emmy, Grammy, Oscar & Tony Award winner Whoopi Goldberg(March 14); Golden Globe, Emmy & Tony Award nomineePatrick Wilson (March 21); and Golden Globe, Emmy & Tony Award winner Brian Dennehy (March 28). On dates soon to be announced, pending artist availability, are Emmy & Tony Award winner Christine Baranski; Tony Winner & Emmy Award nominee Alan Cumming; Olivier & Tony Award nominee Ramin Karimloo; Emmy & Tony Award winner Andrea Martin; three-time Tony Award winner Marin Mazzie; Emmy & Tony Award winner Donna Murphy; Emmy & Tony Award winner David Hyde Pierce; and television, film & stage star George Takei.

FORBIDDEN to leave his country, young Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour found a way for his voice to get out when he physically could not. This wildly entertaining and thought-provoking theatrical piece - where no audience can see the same show twice - blends drama, comedy and social experiment, providing audiences with a potent reminder of the transformative power of theatre.
