Richard Kind, most recently seen in Roundabout's benefit performance of Twentieth Century, joins the company's Tony-nominated revival of Kiss Me, Kate in the role of Second Man (Gangster). Kind replaces Tom McGowan in the Broadway production, which continues its extended run at Studio 54 through June 30.

Kind played the role of Second Man in Roundabout’s 2016 benefit concert reading of Kiss Me, Kate, and returns to Broadway following his Tony Award-nominated and Drama Desk Award-winning performance in The Big Knife.

Kiss Me, Kate features a score by Cole Porter and a book by Sam and Bella Spewack. The revamped production from Roundabout features an updated libretto by Tony-nominated composer-lyricist Amanda Green, direction by Scott Ellis, and choreography by Warren Carlyle.

Kind joins a company that includes Kelli O’Hara, Will Chase, James T. Lane, Corbin Bleu, Terence Archie, Mel Johnson Jr., Stephanie Styles, Adrienne Walker, and John Pankow. Lance Coadie Williams was the original Second Man, replaced by McGowan in May.
