Ron Rifkin, whose performance in 1998’s revival of Cabaret brought him a Tony for Best Featured Actor in a Musical, returned to Off-Broadway with the New York premiere of Jon Robin Baitz’s The Paris Letter on June 9.

Described as “an exhilarating mystery and a witty and insightful exploration of the forces of money and sex”, the play wonders whether “Wall Street powerhouse Sandy Sonenberg (Rifkin) will crumble when the secrets of his past come to light.”

At left, actress Phoebe Cates and Rifkin, as well as co-stars Michele Pawk and Daniel Eric Gold celebrate the play’s opening night. Below, Matthew Broderick, Sarah Jessica Parker and playwright Baitz are seen at the opening night for The Paris Letter at the Laura Pels Theatre on West 46th Street in midtown Manhattan.
