Ari Graynor Rounds Out Bway Cast of The Little Dog Laughed

Ari Graynor will complete the cast of Douglas Carter Beane's Broadway-bound Hollywood satire The Little Dog Laughed, which will be leashed to the Cort Theatre on October 26th for a November 13th opening. 

The show will star Julie White, who received accolades in the show's previous Off-Broadway run for her performance as a cutthroat agent, as well as Tom Everett Scott, as the closeted Hollywood actor she represents.  It will also feature Johnny Galecki as a vulnerable young hustler.  Graynor has been cast as his girlfriend.  Scott and Graynor respectively replace Neal Huff and Zoe Lister-Jones, who were featured in the play at Second Stage.

Graynor last appeared Off-Broadway in Dog Sees God, and was also seen on Broadway in Brooklyn Boy.  Her film and TV credits include "Veronica Mars," Imaginary Heroes, Book of Love, Mystic River and "The Sopranos."

Roy Gabay and Susan Dietz, in association with Second Stage Theatre, will present The Little Dog Laughed on Broadway. 

The play began previews at Second Stage on December 13th, opened on January 9th and played to February 26th after having been extended. "Yes, we love the cinema for its great auteurs, its glorious faces, its daring images. But in this tabloid age where big stars go on Oprah and jump around like heartsick schoolboys, what we really love is all that dish!!! Carter Beane's players in The Little Dog Laughed includes a Hollywood agent, her very promising, up-and-coming boy-toy client, a sexy young drifter, and the drifter's girlfriend," stated press notes. 

Scott Ellis (Twelve Angry Men) will once again direct. The design team will also remain the same for the transfer; it is comprised of Allen Moyer (sets), Jeff Mahshie (costumes), Donald Holder (lighting) and Lewis Flinn (sound).
