Tony nominee Robert Cuccioli and Angelina Fiordellisi will star in the classic Joe Pintauro drama Snow Orchid off-Broadway. Valentina Fratti will direct the new production, which begins performances at the Lion Theatre on Theatre Row on February 3, 2015. The limited run will play through February 28 and open officially on February 8.

Cuccioli received a Tony nod for his performance in Jekyll & Hyde; he has also appeared on Broadway in Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark and Les Miserables.

Set in 1964 Brooklyn, Snow Orchid follows Rocco Lazarra (Cuccioli) as he returns home a year after a mental breakdown. His wife Filumena (Fiordellisi) has not left the house since he left, and their sons Sebbie and Blaise urge her to step outside while facing their own familial struggles.
