Jimmy Smits, Annie Potts, Ken Stott and Christine Lahti are the new parents of Yasmina Reza's God of Carnage at the Bernard Jacobs Theatre.
Tony Award winner Matthew Warchus stages the hit comedy of manners (without the manners), that begins when four parents come together to settle a playground dispute between their children. Original cast members Marcia Gay Harden, James Gandolfini, Jeff Daniels and Hope Davis departed the production on Nov. 14.
Original London God of Carnage cast member Stott portrays Michael with Oscar nominee Lahti (The Heidi Chronicles, "Chicago Hope") as his wife Veronica. "Designing Women" favorite Potts makes Broadway debut as Annette alongside Smits (Anna in the Tropics, "NYPB Blue") as her husband Alan.
Here is a look at the new cast:
