LCT's UNCLE VANYA will star Steve Carell, Alison Pill, William Jackson Harper, Alfred Molina and Anika Noni Rose

JAYNE HOUDYSHELL?!?

And JAYNE HOUDYSHELL too!

Carell, who played a regional manager in “The Office,” will also play a manager in “Uncle Vanya.” His character is the country estate’s long-suffering administrator (and the brother of the professor’s first wife); he oversees the property with a niece, Sonya, who will be played by Alison Pill, who last appeared on Broadway in a revival of “Three Tall Women” and was a Tony Award nominee for “The Lieutenant of Inishmore.” They will be joined by William Jackson Harper, an alumnus of the NBC comedy “The Good Place” who this year wowed Off Broadway audiences with his starring role in “Primary Trust”; he will play Astrov, the local doctor.

Alfred Molina (a three-time Tony nominee, for “Red,” “Fiddler on the Roof” and “Art”) will play the professor, while Anika Noni Rose(a Tony winner for “Caroline, or Change”) will play the professor’s wife. Jayne Houdyshell (a Tony winner for “The Humans”) will play Vanya’s mother, and Mia Katigbak (an Obie winner for “Awake and Sing!”) will portray a household nurse.

That's a whole collection of acting styles. Hopefully Lila can get everyone on the same page for some theatre magic."

If this was their window card I'd buy three.

KELLY CLARKSON!!!!

This cast is perfect. How often do so many "name" actors this big get lined up with roles so well suited for them? This revival from just went from "Why?" to "YES PLEASE."

This is going to give the Beaumont a much needed boost. Hopefully the production values will be top notch.

TotallyEffed: I’m excited for this. I usually adore the posters and advertising Lincoln Center does, but whatever they just posted on their Instagram for this is tragic. What in the graphic design is my passion is that???

That definitely does not look like a James McMullan design. What gives? I have loved so many McMullan window cards over the years.  I am staring at his Piazza which I have framed on my wall right in front of me.

yeah not great artwork, but Lila knows that space and I heard great things about their previous work so I'd be curious. I'm not sure I'd say this is the 'hot ticket' just yet because I feel like these adaptions can be so hit or miss. But if all the pieces are there.... could be a monster hit for LCT.
