Nina Arianda (Venus in Fur) plays Billie Dawn, a character created on stage and film by Judy Holliday. Jim Belushi ("The Defenders," "The World According to Jim") plays Harry Brock, the unsavory businessman-boyfriend who hires a journalist, Paul, played by Tony Award winner Robert Sean Leonard (TV's "House" and Broadway's Invention of Love), to educate Billie. Tony Award winner Frank Wood, Tony nominees Terry Beaver and Michael McGrath, Patricia Hodges, Fred Arsenault, Bill Christ, Jennifer Regan, Liv Rooth, Danny Rutigliano, Andrew Weems and Robert Emmet Lunney complete the cast.
