Carla Gugino Set for LIVE! With Kelly Appearance, 1/20

The Road to Mecca star Carla Gugino will appear on ABC's "Live! with Kelly" tomorrow, Friday, January 20th between 9-10AM on channel 7.

Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) is pleased to present Tony Award® winner RoseMary Harris as "Miss Helen," Carla Gugino as "Elsa Barlow" and Tony Award® winner Jim Dale as "Marius Byleveld" in the Broadway premiere production of Athol Fugard's play The Road To Mecca, directed by Gordon Edelstein.

The Road to Mecca opened officially on January 17, 2012 at the American Airlines Theatre on Broadway (227 West 42nd Street). This is a limited engagement through March 4th, 2012.

The design team includes Michael Yeargan (Sets), Susan Hilferty (Costumes), Peter Kaczorowski (Lights) and John Gromada (Original Music and Sound Design).

Set in the region of South Africa known as the Karoo, The Road to Mecca tells the story of an elderly woman who has spent the years since her husband's death transforming her home into an intricate and dazzling work of art. The reclusive Miss Helen (RoseMary Harris) has become depressed and appears increasingly unable to care for herself. Pastor Marius Byleveld, who embodies the village's conservative values, is determined to get Miss Helen into an old-age home. Her friend Elsa (Carla Gugino), a young teacher from Cape Town who is deeply suspicious of the patriarchal traditions Byleveld represents, is just as determined that Miss Helen remain free.
