Born Yesterday on Broadway has just joined Twitter @BornOnBway

Tickets are on sale for Jim Belushi and Nina Arianda starring in Born Yesterday, a comedy by Garson Kanin, directed by Doug Hughes at Broadway's Cort Theatre, 138 West 48 Street. The opening night is set for Sunday, April 24.

Emmy Award nominee Jim Belushi ("According to Jim," "The Defenders") and Outer Critics Circle nominee Nina Arianda ("A breakout performance-one of the highlights of the year" Charles Isherwood, The New York Times for Venus in Fur) head the cast in Born Yesterday, Garson Kanin's award-winning comedy about sex and politics. Tony Award winner Doug Hughes (Doubt) directs this timeless and timely story of a not-so-honest businessman and a not-so-dumb blonde out to "capitalize" on everything Washington has to offer.

Born Yesterday had its New York premiere on February 4, 1946 at Broadway's Lyceum Theatre, starring Paul Douglas, Judy Holliday, and Gary Merrill, and produced by Max Gordon. It became an instant hit, ran for 1,642 performances (moving to the Henry Miller's Theatre), and remains the seventh longest running play in Broadway history. The play was adapted to the screen in 1950 with Judy Holliday winning an Academy Award for repeating her stage triumph, this time alongside Broderick Crawford and William Holden with George Cukor directing. Born Yesterday was revived on Broadway in 1989, starring Ed Asner and Madeline Kahn.

Tickets are $25 - $120 and may be purchased by visiting www.telecharge.com or by phoning 212 239 6200 or 800 432 7250. For more information about Born Yesterday, please visit www.BornYesterdayOnBroadway.com.
