The Stephen Sondheim-Arthur Laurents musical will play the famed New York venue April 8-11. Murphy will play Mayor Cora Hoover Hooper (the role created by Angela Lansbury) with Foster as Fay Apple (the role originated by the late Lee Remick). The Drowsy Chaperone's Casey Nicholaw will direct and choreograph the production with musical direction by Rob Berman.

Donna Murphy received Tony Awards for her performances in Stephen Sondheim's Passion and the revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's The King and I. Her other Broadway credits include Lovemusik, Wonderful Town, They're Playing Our Song, The Human Comedy and The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
