'Top Girls' Begins Final Week of Performances

Manhattan Theatre Club's critically acclaimed production of Caryl Churchill's TOP GIRLS begins its final week of performances at MTC's Biltmore Theatre (261 West 47th Street) tonight.

The production, directed by James Macdonald (Drunk Enough To Say I Love You?, A Number),  will play its final performance on Sunday, June 29 after playing 24 previews and 63 regular performances.

TOP GIRLS received a Tony Award® nomination (Best Featured Actress in a Play: Martha Plimpton), Drama League Award nominations (Distinguished Performance: Elizabeth Marvel and Martha Plimpton), and a Drama Desk Award nomination (Outstanding Featured Actress in a Play: Marisa Tomei).

The production features Mary Catherine Garrison (Rabbit Hole, Assassins), three-time Tony Award nominee Mary Beth Hurt (A Delicate Balance, The World According to Garp), Jennifer Ikeda (As You Like It), four-time Obie Award winner Elizabeth Marvel (Seascape and An American Daughter on Broadway), Drama Desk Award winner Martha Plimpton (Shining City at MTC, The Coast of Utopia), Ana Reeder (No Country For Old Men, Sight Unseen), and Academy Award® winner Marisa Tomei (My Cousin Vinny and In the Bedroom, seen on Broadway in Salomé).

TOP GIRLS marks the Broadway debut of Caryl Churchill's groundbreaking work. 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? 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.

The creative team for TOP GIRLS includes Tom Pye (scenic design), Laura Bauer (costume design), Christopher Akerlind (lighting design), Darron L West (sound design), Matthew Herbert (original music), Paul Huntley (hair and wig design) and Elizabeth Smith (dialect consultant).
