Glenne Headly to Once Again Step In for Rita Wilson in Larry David's Fish in the Dark

Glenne Headly, who temporarily replaced Rita Wilson in Fish in the Dark when she underwent treatment for breast cancer, will return to the role of Brenda. Headly is set to begin performances on June 9, the same day as incoming headliner Jason Alexander, who takes over the lead role of Norman from creator Larry David.

Headly received Emmy nominations for her performances in Lonesome Dove and Bastard Out of Carolina. Her film credits include Don Jon, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Mr. Holland’s Opus and Dick Tracy. She made her Broadway debut in the 1985 revival of Arms and the Man. Prior to that, she appeared off-Broadway in Extremities and The Philanthropist. In 2013, she starred in the New Groups' The Jacksonian.

The Anna D. Shapiro-helmed production will run on extension through July 18 at the Cort Theatre.

In addition to David and Wilson, the current cast of Fish in the Dark includes Rosie Perez, Jayne Houdyshell, Ben Shenkman, Lewis J. Stadlen, Jake Cannavale, Marylouise Burke, Jerry Adler, Jenn Lyon, Jonny Orsini, Molly Ranson, Maria Elena Ramirez, Rachel Resheff, Joel Rooks, Jeff Still, Kenneth Tigar and Richard Topol.
