The new set of actresses will begin performances Jan. 6, 2010, alongside returning cast member, Tony winner Katie Finneran (Noises Off, Pig Farm).

From Nov. 18-Dec. 13 Love, Loss, and What I Wore will welcome Kristin Chenoweth, Lucy DeVito, Capathia Jenkins, Rhea Perlman and Rita Wilson.

Beginning Dec. 16-Jan. 3, 2010, the cast will feature Tony winners Mary Louise Wilson and Finneran, as well as Lucy DeVito, Capathia Jenkins and Natasha Lyonne.
