By: BWW News Desk Sep. 06, 2005
Currently a hit in London, Andrew Lloyd Webber's gothic romance The Woman in White will open at the Marquis Theatre on November 17th after beginning previews on October 28th.
The musical, which is based on the classic Wilkie Collins novel, will feature a number of its original West End stars. Two-time Olivier Award-winner Maria Friedman (Chicago, Ragtime, Passion) will make her Broadway debut as Marian Halcombe, and Michael Ball (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Aspects of Love, Les Miserables) will play the conniving Count Fosco. Also reprising their roles as Anne Catherick and Laura Fairlie are respectively Angela Christian and Jill Paice. They
are joined by Adam Brazier as Walter Hartright, Ron
Bohmer as Sir Percival Glyde and Walter Charles as Mr. Farlie (with the remainder of the cast to be announced soon).
The show features music by Lloyd Webber (Evita, Cats, The Phantom of the Opera), lyrics by David Zippel (City of Angels, The Goodbye Girl) and a book by Charlotte Jones (Humble Boy). William Dudley (sets and costumes), Paul Pyant (lighting), and Mick Potter (sound) make up the design team with Wayne McGregor behind the choreography and Simon Lee handling the music supervision. All of the creative team will be on hand for the Broadway run.
Tickets for The Woman in White will go on sale to the general public on September 10th. Visit www.ticketmaster.com or www.womaninwhitethemusical.com for more information.
