The Government Inspector, Starring Michael Urie, Will Transfer to New World Stages

The new off-Broadway revival of Nikolai Gogol's comedy The Government Inspector, starring Michael Urie, will transfer from its run at the Duke on 42nd Street to a larger venue at New World Stages. Performances will begin July 5 for a run through August 20. The Government Inspector is adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher and directed by Jesse Berger.

They will be joined by an ensemble including Bruce Dow, Ryan Garbayo, Kelly Hutchinson, Ben Mehl, Talene Monahon, Luis Moreno, James Rana, Mary Lou Rosato and William Youmans, replacing David Manis.

When the crooked leadership of a provincial village discovers that an undercover inspector is coming to root out their commonplace corruption, the town weaves a web of bribery, lies and utter madness.
