Cerveris Takes the Stage This Fall

Here's the latest project on Broadway for Huntington's own Michael Cerveris, according to Playbill:
Tony Award winners Laura Benanti and Michael Cerveris will star in the Broadway premiere of Sarah Ruhl's In the Next Room, which begins previews at the Lyceum Theatre Oct. 22.

Press notes for In the Next Room read: "Set at the dawn of the age of electricity; the play centers on a doctor and his wife (to be played by Laura Benanti and Michael Cerveris) and how his experimental therapy affects their entire household."

    Exactly! Perhaps featuring the music of ELO?

    I had the chance to see and meet Laura Benanti when she played Louise in 'Gypsy' (the role she won the Tony Award for). And she was amazing. And I don't know why more people around town don't know that Michael Cerveris reigns from Huntington, he's a Tony winner too! Can't wait to see the work of these two combined.

    Josh, there are several actors who started right here, and like you, I don't know why the city hasn't rolled out the red carpet to honor its own stars. One of these days...
