Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' Appropriate began its transfer run at the Belasco Theatre March 25, marking the Broadway debut of Ella Beatty. Take a look at Beatty's first bow in the gallery below.

The daughter of Annette Bening and Warren Beatty, Ella succeeds original star Elle Fanning in the role of River for the production's transfer engagement.

The production, which played its final performance March 3 at Broadway's Hayes Theater, is now playing a 13-week engagement at the Belasco through June 23 (Appropriate had to leave the Hayes because Mother Play by Paula Vogel was moving into that theatre). Almost all of the original Broadway cast has continued with the transfer, including Sarah Paulson, Corey Stoll, Michael Esper, Natalie Gold, Graham Campbell, Alyssa Emily Marvin, Lincoln Cohen, and Everett Sobers
