Scott Wolf and JoBeth Williams Join 'Broadway Bound' Cast

Scott Wolf and JoBeth Williams have been announced to join the cast of LA Theater Works' production of "Broadway Bound" at the Skirball Center.  Wolf replaced the previously announced Josh Radnor as "Eugene Morris Jerome". Williams will be taking on the role of "Kate".

Nominated for the 1987 Tony Award for Best Play, this is the final installment of Neil Simon's acclaimed autobiographical "Eugene Trilogy" (preceded by Brighton Beach Memoirs and Biloxi Blues).  Upon returning home from World War II, Eugene Morris Jerome and his brother Stanley pair up to break into the world of professional comedy writing.  Inspiration strikes when they aim their sights on their dysfunctional family - and then the network broadcasts it nationwide!  All performances are recorded to air on LATW's nationally-syndicated radio theater series, The Play's The Thing, which broadcasts weekly on public and satellite radio.

The production will be directed by Jenny Sullivan and the additional cast features Jonathan Silverman, Dan Castellaneta,Caroline Aaron, Kyle Colerider-Krugh, Alan Mandell. It is produced by Susan Albert Loewenberg and running July 9th-13th 2008 at the Skirball Cultural Center (2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd. Los Angeles)
