New York - UPI
Megan Hilty, Campbell Scott, Tracee Chimo and Rob McClure have joined the cast of the upcoming Broadway revival of Noises Off, the Roundabout Theatre Company announced Friday.
Also starring in the stage comedy will be the previously announced Andrea Martin, as well as Daniel Davis, David Furr, Kate Jennings Grant and Jeremy Shamos.
Previews are to begin at the American Airlines Theatre on Dec. 17. Opening night is scheduled for Jan. 14.
"Full of shocking surprises and gut-busting humor, Noises Off is the classic show-within-a-show," a news release said. "The opening night performance of the farce Nothing On is just hours away, and as the cast stumbles through their final dress rehearsal, things couldn't be going any worse. With lines being forgotten, love triangles unraveling and sardines flying everywhere, it's complete pandemonium... and we haven't even reached intermission! Can the cast pull their act together on the stage even if they can't behind the scenes?"
Noises Off premiered on Broadway in 1983 and was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play. The original production ran for more than 550 performances.
