Opening Night & Theater Set for Tony Winner Annaleigh Ashford-Led Sylvia on Broadway

Tony winner Annaleigh Ashford will show off her doggy method acting at The Cort Theatre on Broadway! The previously reported production of A.R. Gurney's Sylvia, will begin performances on September 25 and officially open on October 15. Directed by Daniel Sullivan and also starring Tony winner Julie White and Robert Sella, additional casting will be revealed later.

Has your pet changed your life? Have you ever wondered what she’s thinking when she stares up at you and tilts her head? Could she have the secret to understanding the world at large and your place in it? Or is she just more interested in how your shoe tastes? In Sylvia, the world of a middle-aged New York couple is turned topsy-turvy when the husband brings home an exceptionally engaging canine running loose in Central Park.

The production will feature scenic design by David Rockwell, costume design by Ann Roth and lighting design by Japhy Weideman.

Sylvia was first produced off-Broadway in 1995 at the Manhattan Theatre Club, starring Sarah Jessica Parker, where it ran for 167 performances; this will be the first time it has been seen on the Main Stem.
