Tickets are now on sale to see Oscar and Tony winner Kevin Kline in the upcoming revival of Noël Coward’s Present Laughter on Broadway. Performances will on March 10, 2017 at the St. James Theatre; opening night is scheduled for April 5. Moritz von Stuelpnagel will direct.
Coward’s comedy, which first premiered on Broadway in 1946, follows Garry Essendine, a self-indulgent actor who receives a visit from a young admirer, initiating a parade of intruders and interruptions, including his ex-wife, his manager and an aspiring playwright. The play was last revived on Broadway in 2010 with Victor Garber in the role of Essendine.
The St. James is currently home to Something Rotten!, which will close on January 1, 2017. Disney Theatrical has confirmed that the musical adaptation of Frozen will play the same space in spring 2018.
