A decidedly grim character is making his way to the off-Broadway stage in Roundabout Theatre Company's production of the new Maury Yeston musical Death Takes a Holiday. Julian Ovenden stars as the title character, who arrives at an Italian villa disguised as a handsome young Prince just after World War I. For the first time he experiences the joys and heartbreaks of life, unexpectedly falls in love with a newly engaged young woman (Jill Paice) and discovers that love may in fact be stronger than death. Click on below to look Death in the face, then make plans to see him in person at the Laura Pels Theatre, where the show is in previews in advance of opening on July 14.
