Broadway return set for DebraMessing in Noah Haidle's new play about the cycle of life, 'Birthday Candles,' debuting next spring for RoundaboutNYC
Debra Messing will return to Broadway next spring, headlining the Roundabout Theatre Company production of Noah Haidle's new play,Vivienne Benesch will direct the production, which drew acclaim in its world premiere at the Detroit Public Theatre in May last year and received the first 2019 Harold and Mimi Steinberg/American Theatre Critics Association New Play Award citation.
Handle's play ponders the question of what makes a lifetime into a life. Messing will star as Ernestine Ashworth, first encountered on her 17th birthday, obsessing about her insignificance in the universe, and followed over jumps in time through to her 101st, an infinity of dreams later. The only real constant in her life is the secret, generations-old recipe for her famous birthday cake.
The production will begin previews April 2, 2020 at the American Airlines Theatre, ahead of an official April 21 opening. The limited engagement is scheduled through June 21. Additional cast and design team are to be announced.
