Tickets Now Available for Diane Lane's Return to Broadway in Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard

Diane Lane, who made her Broadway debut as a child in the 1977 revival of The Cherry Orchard, starring Meryl Streep, is returning to the Anton Chekhov classic and tickets are now on sale for the event. Directed by Simon Godwin, the Oscar nominee will headline the new Great White Way adaptation of the play by Tony winner Stephen Karam (The Humans). The limited engagement is scheduled to begin previews on September 15 and officially open on October 16 at Roundabout’s American Airlines Theatre.

First produced in Moscow in 1904, The Cherry Orchard is Chekhov’s masterpiece about a family on the edge of ruin—and a country on the brink of revolution. The story of Lyubov Ranevskaya (Lane) and her family’s return to their fabled orchard to forestall its foreclosure, the play captures a people—and a world—in transition, and presents us with a picture of humanity in all its glorious folly. By turns tragic and funny, The Cherry Orchard still stands as one of the great plays of the modern era.

Further casting will be announced later.
