Roundabout Theatre Company has unveiled additional casting for its upcoming revival of Noël Coward's Fallen Angels, set to play the Todd Haimes Theatre on Broadway beginning March 27, ahead of an April 19 opening night. The limited engagement will continue through June 7.
As previously announced, the revival will be led by Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I'd Kick You) as Jane Banbury and Tony winner Kelli O'Hara (The King and I) as Julia Sterroll.
Newly announced to be joining them are Tracee Chimo (Noises Off) as Saunders, Mark Conseulos (Orphans) as Maurice Duclos, Christopher Fitzgerald (Waitress) as Willy Banbury, and Aasif Mandvi (The Daily Show) as Fred Sterroll. Casting is by Carrie Gardner and Stephen Kopel.
Described in press notes as a "comedy of bad manners," Fallen Angels follows two wealthy married women who, with husbands away, toast their pre-wedding loves—who happen to be the same man, who's on his way to visit. The work premiered in London in 1925, coming to Broadway in 1927. Early productions attracted the ire of censors, who objected to its shocking depiction of women acknowledging premarital sex.
Scott Ellis (Art) is directing the new staging, which will feature scenic design by David Rockwell, costume design by Jeff Mahshie, lighting design by Kenneth Posner, and sound design by John Gromada.
