The performance will be a return to the stage for Stranger Things star Sink, who acted on Broadway as a child in the 2012 revival of Annie and more recently gave a Tony-nominated performance in John Proctor is the Villain last season. Icke is currently represented on Broadway with the transfer of his Olivier-winning take on Oedipus, which he both adapted and directed.
