Directed by Doug Hughes (Doubt, Frozen) and starring Ron Rifkin (Cabaret, Wrong Mountain), John Glover (Love! Valour! Compassion), Daniel Eric Gold (Small Tragedy), Jason Butler Harner (Mr. Fox: A Rumination) and Michele Pawk (Seussical, Bounce), The Paris Letter started previews on Friday, May 13th and opened on Sunday, June 12th; the show will have run for 31 previews and 69 regular performances when it closes. 

The Paris Letter is about sex, power and money.  Wall Street powerhouse Sandy Sonnenberg (Rifkin) finds his personal and professional life threatened by the unraveling secrets of his past.  A tragic game of financial and moral betrayal is played out over four decades and between two friends at the cost of family, friendship, love and marriage.

The Roundabout's 2004-05 season "marked an extraordinary time in its history. The theatre has finally secured three permanent theatres each of which is designed specifically to enhance the needs of the Roundabout's mission.  The off Broadway home, the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre's Laura Pels Theatre with its simple sophisticated design is perfectly suited to showcasing new plays while the grandeur of its Broadway home, American Airlines Theatre, sets the ideal stage for the classics. Roundabout at Studio 54 provides an exciting and intimate Broadway venue for its musical and special event productions.  Together these three distinctive venues serve to enhance the work on each of its stages," states a press article.

The Paris Letter will play Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m. with Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2:00 p.m. Tickets, which range from $56.25 to $66.25, are available by calling Roundabout Ticket Services at (212) 719-1300, online at www.roundabouttheatre.org, or at the box office at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre.
