Playing Monday nights, the rotating cast is set to feature Wayne Brady, Whoopi Goldberg, Alan Cumming and more.
Each night, a different actor is handed a script to perform without the help of a director, rehearsals or a set. The line-up also includes Brian Dennehy, Mike Birbiglia, Andrea Martin, Marin Mazzie, David Hyde Pierce and George Takei.
Confirmed dates include Goldberg (March 14), Wilson (March 21), Dennehy (March 28), Brady (April 4), Birbiglia (April 11), Nixon (April 18) and Short (May 2) .
Forbidden to leave his country, Iranian playwright Soleimanpour transcribed his experience of isolation into this unique stage work. The play premiered at the 2011 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it won a series of awards. It has since been translated into 15 different languages and performed globally. “This wildly entertaining and thought-provoking theatrical piece – where no audience can see the same show twice - blends drama, comedy and social experiment,“ state press notes.
Tickets to White Rabbit Red Rabbit are on sale via Telecharge.com or by calling (212) 239-6200. The Westside Theatre is located at 407 W. 43rd St., Manhattan.
The revival of the John Kander-Fred Ebb-Joe Masteroff musical opened at the August Wilson Theatre April 21, with Eddie Redmayne and Gayle Rankin leading the cast.
