Get a First Look at Ranch Hands James Franco & Chris O’Dowd in New Poster For Broadway’s Of Mice and Men

Broadway is betting the farm on screen stars James Franco and Chris O’Dowd! The Hollywood pair will make their Broadway debuts in John Steinbeck’s beloved drama Of Mice and Men this spring, and Entertainment Weekly has a first look at the two new buddies together for the first time in the production’s new poster. Franco (George) and O’Dowd (Lennie) will be joined by Gossip Girl favorite Leighton Meester as Curley’s Wife and Tony winner Jim Norton as Candy in the new revival, directed by Anna D. Shapiro. If you missed eighth grade English class, Of Mice and Men tells the story of sharp-tongued migrant worker George and his simple-minded friend Lennie, who dream of one day buying their own farm. Get a glimpse of these two new stage stars before they hit the Great White Way, beginning March 19 at the Longacre Theatre. But act fast—the production is slated to play a limited engagement through July 27.
