"Tony Award winner Julie White and Johnny Galecki, stars of Douglas Carter Beane's Tony Award-nominated comedy The Little Dog Laughed Off-Broadway and on, will recreate their roles in the Center Theatre Group's Los Angeles presentation of the play at the Kirk Douglas Theatre Nov. 16-Dec. 21.
White won the 2007 Best Actress Tony playing sharky talent agent Diane, who wants to keep her gay Hollywood-star client, Mitchell, in the closet. In the New York production, Galecki (TV's "Roseanne," "The Big Bang Theory") played Alex, the new lover of the star. Galecki returns to the part that won him a Theatre World Award on Broadway.
The L.A. production, again directed by Scott Ellis, opens Nov. 23.
The New York City world premiere was produced by Second Stage Theatre. The production moved to Broadway, where Tom Everett Scott played Mitchell (Neal Huff created the role Off-Broadway at Second Stage).
Also featured in the L.A. run of the satire of Hollywood personalities will be Brian Henderson (who was the Alex/Mitchell understudy on Broadway) and Zoe Lister-Jones (who created the girlfriend role of Ellen in the play's premiere at Second Stage; Ari Graynor played the role on Broadway)..."

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
