| OPENS TOMORROW, THURSDAY, JUNE 29! ROUNDABOUT THEATRE COMPANY In association with David Binder and Sharon Karmazin Presents the Broadway premiere of MARVIN’S ROOM By SCOTT McPHERSON Directed by ANNE KAUFFMAN Starring JANEANE GAROFALO LILI TAYLOR CELIA WESTON Limited engagement through August 27, 2017 On Broadway at the American Airlines Theatre Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director/CEO) is thrilled to present Janeane Garofalo, Lili Taylor and Celia Weston in the Broadway premiere of Marvin’s Room, by Scott McPherson, Obie Award-winning director Anne Kauffman. Janeane Garofalo stars as “Lee,” Lili Taylor as “Bessie” and Celia Weston as “Ruth.” The cast also includes Jack DiFalco as “Hank,” Carman Lacivita as “Bob” and “Marvin,” Nedra McClyde as “Dr. Charlotte,” Luca Padovan as “Charlie” and Triney Sandoval as “Dr. Wally.” Marvin’s Room opens officially on Thursday, June 29, 2017. This is a limited engagement through August 27, 2017 on Broadway at the American Airlines Theatre (227 West 42nd Street). The award-winning Marvin’s Room, is a wildly funny play about the laughter that can shine through life’s darkest moments. Lee is a single mother who's been busy raising her troubled teenage son, Hank. Her estranged sister Bessie has her hands full with their elderly father, his soap opera-obsessed sister—and a brand-new life-or-death diagnosis. Now the women are about to reunite for the first time in 18 years. Are Lee’s good intentions and makeover skills enough to make up for her long absence? Can Bessie help Hank finally feel at home somewhere… or at least keep him from burning her house down? Can these almost-strangers become a family in time to make plans, make amends, and maybe make a trip to Disney World? The creative team also includes Laura Jellinek (Sets), Jessica Pabst (Costumes), Japhy Weideman (Lights) and Daniel Kluger (Sound Design and Original Music).
