Classic Stage has found more casting for their upcoming world premiere of Ethan Slater and Marshall Pailet's Marcel on the Train, set to play the Off-Broadway company February 5-March 15, 2026. Opening night will be February 22. As previously announced, Slater will lead the cast as world famous mime Marcel Marceau.

Newly announced cast members include Julie Benko (Harmony), Maddie Corman (Accidentally Brave), Max Gordon Moore (Tammy Faye), Aaron Serotsky (August: Osage County), and Alex Wyse (Good Night, Oscar). Additional casting, by Geoff Josselson, will be announced at a later date.

The work follows Marceau in the years before his worldwide fame, during his time in World War II-era French resistance saving Jewish children from the Nazis. The play received a developmental workshop at Williamstown Theatre Festival in 2024. Slater, Benko, and Serotsky are reprising their performances from that run for the world premiere. The project brings Tony nominated SpongeBob SquarePants and Wicked on screen star Slater back to Classic Stage after starring as the Balladeer in their 2021 revival of Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman's Assassins.

The production will feature set design by Scott Davis, costume design by Sarah Laux, lighting design by Brandon Stirling Baker, and sound design by Jill BC DuBoff. Marcel on the Train is presented by special arrangement with Mix and Match Productions' Maxwell Beer and Mitch Marois.

Tickets will go on sale in November. Visit ClassicStage.org.
