Tomei & Plimpton to Star in Churchill's 'Top Girls' on Bway

Manhattan Theatre Club is pleased to announce that Mary Catherine Garrison, Elizabeth Marvel, Martha Plimpton and Academy Award winner Marisa Tomei will star in the upcoming Broadway premiere of Caryl Churchill's Top Girls at the Biltmore Theatre (261 West 47th Street). 

The play will be directed by James Macdonald (A Number). Additional casting for the production will be announced at a later date.

Top Girls will begin previews at MTC's Biltmore Theatre (261 West 47th Street) on Tuesday, April 15 and will open on Wednesday, May 7, 2008.

"Top Girls marks the Broadway debut of a Caryl Churchill masterpiece. At the Top Girls Employment Agency in London in the early 1980s, Marlene has just been appointed head of the firm.  But as this ambitious career woman celebrates her achievements, can we applaud her values?" ask press notes.

"This bold and ingenious work from the singularly talented author of Far Away and Cloud Nine offers one of the theatre's most honest portraits of what it means to be a woman in the modern world."

Tomei is currently starring in the 5-mini-play series Oh, The Humanity off-Broadway at The Flea.  Plimpton is also currently treading the boards, starring in the Lincoln Center production of Shakespeare's Cymbeline.

Single ticket and listings information for Top Girls will be announced in the coming weeks. For information on how to subscribe please visit www.ManhattanTheatreClub.com.
