Hadley Delany will play Young Katharine in the Broadway debut of Michael Jacobs' Impressionism, which begins previews Feb. 28 at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.

Young actress Delany, who was seen in "The Nanny Diaries" and who will be making her Broadway debut in the new play, is the final addition to the cast, which is led by Tony Award winners Jeremy Irons as Thomas Buckle and Joan Allen as Katharine Keenan with Marsha Mason (Steel Magnolias, Night of the Iguana), André De Shields (The Full Monty, Ain't Misbehavin'), Michael T. Weiss (TV's "The Pretender"), Aaron Lazar (Les Misérables, Tale of Two Cities) and Margarita Levieva.

Tony winner Jack O'Brien will direct the production, which will officially open March 12.

Ostar Productions is producing Impressionism, which, press notes state, "is the story of a world traveling photojournalist and a New York gallery owner who discover each other and also that there might be an art to repairing broken lives."

The design team includes scenic designer Scott Pask, costume designer Catherine Zuber, lighting designer Natasha Katz, projection designer Elaine McCarthy, sound designer Leon Rothenberg and hair and wig designer Tom Watson with original music by Bob James.

Playwright Jacobs is also the author of Cheaters, which was produced on Broadway in 1978 at the Biltmore Theatre; and Getting Along Famously, which was produced Off-Broadway at the Hudson Guild Theatre. His 15 television series have won the Emmy, People's Choice, Parent's Choice and Environmental Media Awards, among others.

The Schoenfeld Theatre is located at 236 West 45th Street in Manhattan. Tickets are available by visiting www.telecharge.com or by calling (212) 239-6200.
