Four-time Tony Award® winner Angela Lansbury, who is returning to Broadway for the first time in almost 25 years in the new play DEUCE, will be interviewed live on "The Joan Hamburg Show" tomorrow, Wednesday, February 7 from 10:00 - 10:30 AM. "The Joan Hamburg Show" airs daily on WOR-AM 710 from 9:00 - 11:00 AM.

Angela Lansbury stars with Tony Award®-winner Marian Seldes in DEUCE, the world premiere of a new play by four-time Tony Award® winner Terrence McNally, and directed by two-time Tony Award® winner Michael Blakemore.

DEUCE will open on Sunday, May 6th at the Music Box Theatre (239 West 45th Street). Previews begin Monday, April 16th. The production will play a strictly limited engagement of 18 weeks.

Ms. Lansbury and Ms. Seldes star in DEUCE as two former doubles tennis legends, reunited at a championship match, in Mr. McNally's warmly funny and unexpectedly moving new play.

In her 60-plus year career on stage, film and television, Ms. Lansbury received four Tony Awards® for her starring roles in Mame, Dear World, Gypsy and Sweeney Todd, three Academy Award® nominations for Gaslight (her screen debut), The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Manchurian Candidate, and 18 Emmy Award® nominations, including 12 for her long-running television series, "Murder, She Wrote."

Ms. Seldes won a Tony® for A Delicate Balance, and has been nominated for her performances in Father's Day, Deathtrap, Ring Round the Moon, and Dinner at Eight. Last season, she earned rave reviews for her performance in Mr. McNally's Dedication, or the Stuff of Dreams.

Mr. McNally has won Tony Awards® for his plays, Love! Valour! Compassion! and Master Class, and for his books for the musicals, Kiss of the Spider Woman and Ragtime. Mr. Blakemore won Tony Awards® in the same year for his direction of the play, Copenhagen, and the musical, Kiss Me Kate.

Additional casting and the DEUCE creative team will be announced in coming weeks.

DEUCE will be produced on Broadway by Scott Rudin, Stuart Thompson, Maberry Theatricals, The Shubert Organization, Roger Berlind, Debra Black, Bob Boyett, Susan Dietz and Daryl Roth.
