Roundabout Theatre Company Premieres Theresa Rebeck's THE UNDERSTUDY, 10/9

Tomorrow, Friday, October 9th, preview performances begin for Roundabout Theatre Company's New York premiere of Theresa Rebeck's new comedy The Understudy, directed by Scott Ellis featuring Tony® Award winner Julie White as "Roxanne", Mark-Paul Gosselaar as "Jake" and Justin Kirk as "Harry".

The Understudy will open officially on Thursday, November 5th, 2009 at the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre (111 West 46th Street). This is a limited engagement through Sunday, January 3rd, 2010.

The design team includes Alexander Dodge (Sets), Tom Broecker (Costumes), Kenneth Posner (Lights), Obadiah Eaves (Original Music & Sound).

Box office heroes and washed-up has-beens take heed: the play's almost the thing. In this bitingly witty and entertaining comedy by Theresa Rebeck (Mauritius), the lights of Broadway cast an affectionate glow over this look at one of the most notorious roles in the theatre: the understudy.

Tickets are available by calling Roundabout Ticket Services at (212)719-1300, online at www.roundabouttheatre.org or at the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre box office (111 West 46 Street). Ticket prices range from $70.00-$80.00.

The Understudy will play Tuesday through Saturday evening at 7:30 p.m. with Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2:00 p.m.
