Tony winner Michael Cerveris will play Kent, with Larry Bryggman as Gloucester and Logan Marshall-Green as Edmund alongside previously announced star Kevin Kline in the upcoming James Lapine-helmed mounting of King Lear at the Public Theater. It has also been announced that frequent Lapine collaborator Stephen Sondheim and Michael Starobin will compose an original score for the oft-produced Shakespeare classic.
Here's the link for the rest of the article:

Gotta get tickets to that immediately.
Sondheim is collaborating with someone on the score?
Hmmm...anyone have any info on that?

I do.
He's old.
February 9- March 18? Oh f*ck.
Sounds fabulous though. Guess I need to find someone to place a cardboard cutout of me in one of the seats again.
Interesting. Wish I could see this.

As do I. This sounds like a heavenly production. I love Shakespeare.
Kline, Cerveris, Sondheim, and Shakespeare?!?

How exciting!

YAY! I can't wait for Heidi Ettinger to return to Broadway. She was a big inspiration to me as a kid wanting to be a Set Designer.

Any nudity involved?

Well, Brent Carver (as Edgar) spent a large part of the recent Christopher Plummer Lear revival wearing only a loin cloth and I can recall another production where the Fool was fairly scantily clad, so I suppose nudity (or near nudity) might be possible.
as much as it's cool that Sondheim is writing something new, why not a musical?!
anyone knows of any upcoming anything else by Sondheim?
I'm not sure about Logan Marshall Green in the pivotal role of Edmund, but damn this looks incredible, I'm gon' BE there!
Logan Marshall-Green is a fine actor (and I'm not just talking about his looks). He tackles drama and comedy very well.
The title is escaping me, but he was fantastic in a play a few years ago about a group of struggling teens.
