Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) will present the New York Premiere of Noah Haidle's play Mr. Marmalade, directed by Michael Greif at the Laura Pels Theatre (Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre; 111 West 46th Street). Mr. Marmalade will begin previews on Tuesday, November 1st, 2005; and opens officially on Sunday, November 20th, 2005. This is a limited engagement through Sunday, January 29, 2006.

Cast and Creative team will be announced shortly.

In Noah Haidle's outrageous new comedy Mr. Marmalade, adult behavior is interpreted through the characters of two very smart children. Lucy has a precocious vocabulary, killer skills in the kitchen, a husband who spends too much time at the office, and she's just four years old! Her imaginary world revolves around a too-busy businessman named Mr. Marmalade who never has time for the child who adores him.

Mr. Marmalade was commissioned and first produced by South Coast Repertory.
