Terrence McNally’s Lips Together, Teeth Apart, Starring America Ferrera, Cancels Off-Broadway Performance

Lips Together, Teeth Apart, starring Emmy winner America Ferrera, had to cancel after the first act of the matinee on November 19 and will also not play the evening performance because of actor illness. Although a production spokesperson could not confirm the actor who was under the weather, a source told Broadway.com that it was Ferrera and that the play has no understudy for her role. The show is running off-Broadway at Second Stage's Tony Kiser Theatre.

In Terrence McNally’s Lips Together, Teeth Apart, a brother and sister and their spouses spend a Fourth of July weekend in a Fire Island beach house. Thrown into a gay paradise, they do their best to enjoy themselves despite their prejudices and insecurities. The production marks the first New York revival of the comedy in 23 years.

Peter DuBois directs a cast that also includes Michael Chernus, Tracee Chimo and Austin Lysy.
