Daphne Rubin-Vega to Star in Everything's Turning Into Beautiful; Sciorra and Cannavale Withdraw
Daphne Rubin-Vega will star in the New Group production of Seth Zvi Rosenfeld's Everything's Turning Into Beautiful, running off-Broadway from July 17 through August 26. Annabella Sciorra and Bobby Cannavale were to have appeared in the play, but both have pulled out due to scheduling conflicts, according to a production spokesperson. A new male lead will be announced at a later date.
Rubin-Vega was recently announced as one of the stars of the upcoming Broadway revival of Les Miserables, which starts performances at the Broadhurst Theatre on October 22. She will take a leave from the show in the winter to appear in the LAByrinth Theater Company production of Jack Goes Boating at the Public Theater. Rubin-Vega first exploded on the theater scene in the original off-Broadway and Broadway cast of Rent as drug-addicted heroine Mimi. For her work in the show, Rubin-Vega won a Theatre World Award and received Tony and Drama Desk award nominations for Best Leading Actress in a Musical. She received her second Tony nomination for her dramatic work in Nilo Cruz's Anna in the Tropics, having also appeared in the Pulitzer Prize winning playwright's Two Sisters and a Piano at the Public Theatre in 2000. Other noteworthy stage appearances include Broadway's The Rocky Horror Show revival, Fucking A at the Public Lucille Lortel Award nomination, Gum at the Women's Project Theatre, Free to Be...You and Me at the Drama Dept., Between Us at Manhattan Theatre Club, Randy Newman's Faust at La Jolla Playhouse and the musical Bernarda Alba at Lincoln Center. On the big screen, Rubin-Vega has appeared in the studio films Wild Things and Flawless and in many indies, including I Like It Like That, Lotto Land, Skeleton Woman and Virgin.
