Veep's Anna Chlumsky & Emmy Winner Richard Thomas Will Join You Can’t Take It With You on Broadway

Can you make dinner for two more?! Veep star Anna Chlumsky and Emmy winner Richard Thomas will step into the Broadway revival of George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart’s You Can’t Take It With You. Chlumsky will take over as Alice, replacing Rose Byrne, and Thomas will step in as Paul, currently played by Mark Linn-Baker, when they depart the production on January 4, 2015. Both Chlumsky and Thomas will board the cast at the Longacre Theatre on January 6, 2015.

Chlumsky received Emmy nominations in 2013 and 2014 for her performance as Amy in the HBO series Veep. Her additional screen credits include Hannibal, My Girl and In the Loop. She has appeared off-Broadway in Love, Loss and What I Wore and Unconditional. An Emmy winner for The Waltons, Thomas returns to Broadway after numerous credits including An Enemy of the People, Race, A Naked Girl on the Appian Way and Democracy.

Directed by Scott Ellis, the Pulitzer Prize-winning You Can't Take It With You centers on the freethinking Sycamore family and the mayhem that ensues when their daughter's fiancé brings his conservative, straight-laced parents to dinner on the wrong night. Chlumsky and Thomas will join a cast that includes James Earl Jones, Elizabeth Ashley, Annaleigh Ashford, Kristine Nielsen and Byron Jennings. The play will run on extension through February 22.
