Carey Mulligan & Bill Nighy-Led Skylight Revival Starts Performances on Broadway

Move over Hugh Jackman, it's Carey Mulligan's turn to cook up a storm on the Great White Way! The Oscar nominee and Bill Nighy begin previews in David Hare’s Skylight on Broadway on March 13. Directed by Stephen Daldry, the production, which recently had an acclaimed run in London's West End, will officially open at the Golden Theatre on April 2.

Skylight tells the story of a teacher, Kyra Hollis (Mulligan), who receives an unexpected visit from her former lover Tom Sergeant (Nighy) and his son Edward, played by Matthew Beard, who will also be reprising his role on the Great White Way.

The show was last seen on Broadway in 1996, when it starred Michael Gambon, Lia Williams and Christian Camargo. The revival is scheduled to conclude its run on June 14.
