Left on Tenth is a true story about love, hope, and the wonder of second chances. When she least expected it, a surprising connection with a man from her past led Ephron to fall into her own romantic comedy.
Margulies and Gallagher are joined onstage by Peter Francis James (Funny Girl) and Kate MacCluggage (The 39 Steps).
The production also features scenic design by two-time Tony winner Beowulf Boritt, costume design by Tony nominee Jeff Mahshie, lighting design by Tony winner Ken Billington and Itohan Edoloyi, sound design by Jill BC Du Boff, projection design by Jeanette Oi-Suk Yew, wig design by Michael Buonincontro, and animal training by Tony honoree William Berloni Theatrical Animals, Inc.
Margulies made her Broadway debut in 2006 in Festen, directed by Rufus Norris. She was also seen in Jon Robin Baitz's Ten Unknowns at Lincoln Center for which she won the Lucille Lortel Award. Her other theatrical credits include The Substance of Fire, The Vagina Monologues, Intrigue with Faye, and Fefu and Her Friends.
Gallagher's Broadway credits include Guys and Dolls (Drama Desk nomination), Long Day’s Journey Into Night (Tony nomination), The Real Thing (The Clarence Derwent Award), The Corn is Green (Theatre World Award), A Doll’s Life, Noises Off, The Country Girl, Grease, and On the Twentieth Century.
Ephron's novels include Siracusa and The Lion Is In, and her books of essays and humor include SisterMotherHusbandDog (etc) and How to Eat Like a Child. Her many movie credits—often co-written with her late sister Nora Ephron—include You’ve Got Mail, Michael, and Hanging Up, based on her novel. Her sister and she co-authored the play Love, Loss and What I Wore.
