Another switcheroo for a Shubert venue has occurred. The new Main Stem revival of Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie, led by Sally Field, will now play the Belasco, instead of the Golden Theatre. Performances will still start as scheduled on February 7, 2017, with opening night set for March 9. The Belasco is the bigger Shubert house by around 200 seats.
Directed by Sam Gold, the cast will also include Joe Mantello, Finn Wittrock, Jim O’Connor and Madison Ferris.
The Glass Menagerie, which follows a faded Southern belle and her two kids, premiered on Broadway in 1945 and has since been revived six times. The most recent revival, in 2013, featured Cherry Jones, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Zachary Quinto and Brian J. Smith.
Dear Evan Hansen had previously been slated for the Belasco, before moving to the Music Box Theatre.
