Tony Winner John Benjamin Hickey, Patrick Breen & More Set for Dada Woof Papa Hot Off-Broadway

Tony winner John Benjamin Hickey, Patrick Breen and more will star in the previously announced Dada Woof Papa Hot off-Broadway. Helmed by On the Twentieth Century’s director Scott Ellis, the new play by Peter Parnell will begin previews on October 15 and officially open on November 9 at Lincoln Center’s Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater.

Joining Hickey (The Normal Heart) and Breen (The Normal Heart) in the cast will be Tammy Blanchard (How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying), Alex Hurt (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof), Kellie Overbey (On the Twentieth Century), John Pankow (Equivocation) and Stephen Plunkett (War Horse).

Alan (Hickey) and Rob (Breen) are an older married couple with a three-year-old daughter and a life they fought for decades to be allowed to lead. But in the course of one school year, Alan, Rob and their friends struggle with what it means to be married with children at this head-spinning cultural moment. By turns comic and serious, Dada Woof Papa Hot asks the question: are the challenges of gay dads the same as those of straight ones, or is there something fundamentally different about being a gay parent?

The production will feature sets by John Lee Beatty, costumes by Jennifer von Mayrhauser, lighting by Peter Kaczorowski, and original music and sound by John Gromada.
