Jason Biggs & Bryce Pinkham Will Join Elisabeth Moss in the Broadway Revival of The Heidi Chronicles
Orange is the New Black's Jason Biggs and A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder's Bryce Pinkham will join the previously reported Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss in the now confirmed revival of Wendy Wasserstein’s The Heidi Chronicles on the Great White Way. The production, directed by Pam MacKinnon, will begin rehearsals in January and open in early March 2015. Bad Jews' Tracee Chimo will play a number of supporting roles.
Biggs will take on the role of Scoop Rosenbaum, a writer who has a long flirtation with Heidi. His Broadway credits include The Play What I Wrote, The Graduate and Conversations With My Father. His additional screen credits include the American Pie series, Jersey Girl, Anything Else, Saving Silverman, My Best Friend's Girl and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Pinkham will play Peter Patrone, Heidi's gay best friend. He received a Tony nod for Gentleman's Guide; his other Great White Way credits include Ghost and Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson. Chimo will play the roles of Fran, Molly, Betsy and April. She has previously appeared on Broadway in Harvey and Irena's Vow.
The Heidi Chronicles won both the Tony and the Pulitzer in 1989. This is the first revival since the original production shuttered in 1990. The show spans over 20 years, following Heidi Holland (Moss) from high school to her career as an art historian and how she copes with feminisim, men, politics and motherhood.
The creative team will include scenic design by John Lee Beatty and costume design by Jessica Pabst. Theater, dates and additional casting will be announced later.
