Dashiell Eaves Replaces Thomas Sadoski in Becky Shaw at Second Stage

Dashiell Eaves is set to join the cast of Second Stage Theatre’s production of Gina Gionfriddo’s acclaimed comedy Becky Shaw on February 10. He replaces Thomas Sadoski in the role of Andrew, a husband who is perhaps too in touch with his sensitive side. Sadoski has left the production to begin rehearsals for Reasons to Be Pretty.

Eaves has appeared on Broadway in Coram Boy, The Lieutenant of Inishmore, James Joyce's The Dead, 1776 and The Sound of Music. His off-Broadway and regional credits include Not Waving, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Street Scene, The Seven, Brendan, People Be Heard, Sons of Ulster…, Hans Christian Andersen, 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and Stomp. On film and television he has appeared in Arthur & The Invisibles II, Beloved, Stomp Out Loud, Law & Order: Criminal Intent and Third Watch.

Becky Shaw centers on two newlyweds who attempt to fix up a pair of romantically challenged friends. The comedy began previews at Second Stage Theatre on December 16, before officially opening on January 8, and was originally scheduled to close on February 1. The day after opening, Second Stage announced the extension, thanks to rave reviews and strong ticket sales. The production, directed by Peter DuBois, will now play through March 15. The rest of the cast—David Wilson Barnes, Emily Bergl, Kelly Bishop, and Annie Parisse—continue with the production.
