According to the Daily Mail, Scott will play 'Langley', who he describes as "an extraordinary piano player" though the actor will be "pretending." Starring opposite Scott will be David Dawson as 'Homer'.
THE DAZZLE centers on Homer and Langley Collyer, described as "brothers who lived in a mansion in Harlem stuffed with 14 baby grand pianos" and whose bodies were eventually "discovered under tons of rubbish."
The play premiered off-Broadway more than a decade ago and comes to London this winter courtesy the Michael Grandage Company and producer Emily Dobbs.
