Sadoski, a Tony nominee for Reasons to Be Pretty, exited the Broadway run in January to film the new Aaron Sorkin HBO series "The Newsroom." Visit his page on the Playbill Vault.

He was succeeded by "Weeds" actor Justin Kirk, and most recently by longtime Other Desert Cities cast member Matthew Risch.

The cast of Other Desert Cities also features Tony Award winner Stockard Channing (Six Degrees of Separation, The House of Blue Leaves) as Polly Wyeth, Golden Globe winner Stacy Keach (Indians, "Hemingway") as Lyman Wyeth, Tony nominee Judith Light (Lombardi, "Ugly Betty") as Silda Grauman, Elizabeth Marvel ("True Grit," Top Girls) as Brooke Wyeth and currently, Matthew Risch (Pal Joey, Legally Blonde) as Trip Wyeth.

Authored by Jon Robin Baitz and directed by Joe Mantello, Other Desert Cities began Broadway previews Oct. 12, 2011, and officially opened Nov. 3 at the Booth Theatre. The acclaimed play premiered Off-Broadway in 2011 at Lincoln Center Theater's Mitzi E. Newhouse space.

Here's how LCT bills the play: "In Other Desert Cities Brooke Wyeth (Marvel), a once promising novelist, returns home after a six year absence to celebrate Christmas in Palm Springs with her parents, former members of the Reagan inner-circle (Channing and Keach), her brother (Risch) and her aunt (Light). When Brooke announces that she is about to publish a memoir focusing on an explosive chapter in the family’s history, the holiday reunion is thrown into turmoil and the Wyeths are both bound together and torn apart as they struggle to come to terms with their past." The Broadway production features Lincoln Center Theater's original design team: John Lee Beatty (sets), David Zinn (costumes), Kenneth Posner (lighting), Jill BC DuBoff (sound) and Justin Ellington (original music).
