Tony nominee Kate Baldwin will star in the Keen Company’s previously announced revival of John & Jen. The musical features music by Andrew Lippa, lyrics by Tom Greenwald and a book by both. The Jonathan Silverstein-helmed production will begin performances on February 10, 2015 and run through March 22. Opening night is set for February 26 at off-Broadway’s Clurman Theatre at Theatre Row.
Baldwin most recently appeared on Broadway in Lippa's Big Fish. She received a Tony nomination for her performance in Finian’s Rainbow and has also appeared on the Great White Way in Wonderful Town, Thoroughly Modern Millie and The Full Monty. Earlier this year, she starred in the Paper Mill Playhouse production of Can-Can.
John & Jen explores familial connections and commitments. It tells the story of Jen and her relationship with two Johns in her life: her younger brother and her son. The musical originally premiered off-Broadway in 1995. The Keen Company production will feature a new song titled “Trouble with Men.” Additional casting and creative team will be announced later.
