Clifford Streit’s HIM, which recently premiered at the Cherry Lane Studio Theater, will transfer to the SoHo Playhouse for a commercial run beginning March 10. The new comedy, starring Jon Fleming (Dante's Cove, Will & Grace), will open March 21. The show, which Streit directs, is also currently in development as a TV series.
HIM follows hunky actor Nick Cooper (Fleming) who has just landed his breakthrough film role, and offers from Hollywood's A-list begin pouring in. Nick however is gay and his viper of an agent wants to keep him in the closet. Nick is happy to play along in spite of the vocal opposition of his boyfriend, but all hell breaks loose when a Latina bombshell is brought in to "play" Nick's girlfriend.
In addition to Fleming, HIM stars Todd Crain, Lindsay Goranson, Georgia X. Lifsher, James Sautter and Julian Mercer.
HIM features lighting and set design by Josh Iacovelli, costume design by Dustin Cross, stage management by Jonathan Santos and sound design by Juni Li.
