The production is set to begin performances at the Hudson Theatre from the 29th September.
It has been announced that Julia Louis-Dreyfus will make her Broadway debut alongside Tony Award nominee and four-time Academy Award nominee Ed Harris, and two-time Tony Award nominee, Academy Award winner, and seven-time Emmy Award winner Allison Janney, Actor Award winner Joe Keery, and Tony Award nominee Lily Rabe in the Broadway revival of Jon Robin Baitz’s Other Desert Cities.
The Tony Award winning play will be directed by John Benjamin Hickey and will officially open at the Hudson Theatre on the 18th October.
On Christmas Eve, the sunlit Palm Springs home of a politically connected family becomes a battleground of memory, loyalty, and legacy when a daughter returns with a memoir and the power to expose the explosive truth they’ve kept hidden. With cutting insight and razor-sharp wit, they excavate old wounds and long-buried secrets. As the past comes into focus, the question isn’t just what happened, but who owns a family’s story and what is the cost to tell it.
Talking about the production Director John Benjamin Hickey said, “I have loved Robbie’s plays since he began writing them. I acted in two of them early in my career, and when I recently revisited Other Desert Cities, I was stunned at how relevant the play remains, maybe now more than ever. It’s an incredibly funny, surprising, and heartbreaking play about an American family. OUR American family. To be able to bring it back to Broadway, with this powerhouse ensemble of actors, and incredible creative team, is a dream come true.”
The creative team also includes: three-time Tony Award winner Scott Pask (scenic design), Emmy Award winner Tom Broecker (costume design), eight-time Tony Award winner Natasha Katz (lighting design), two-time Tony Award nominee Mikaal Sulaiman (sound design and original music), Robert Pickens (hair and wig design), Richard Hodge (production stage manager), and Jim Carnahan CSA (casting director).
