Excluisive: Arian Moayed, Jesmille Darbouze, Tasha Lawrence, Michael Patrick Thornton and original Hamilton castmember Okieriete Onaodowan have rounded out the cast for A Doll’s House, the new Broadway production of Henrik Ibsen’s drama that will star Oscar winner Jessica Chastain.
Rehearsals are now underway for the play, which hails from the Ambassador Theatre Group and artistic director Jamie Lloyd’s The Jamie Lloyd Company. Amy Herzog is directing the revival, which begins a 16-week limited engagement at the Hudson Theatre with previews February 13 and opening night March 9.
Chastain is set as Nora in the play, which originally premiered in 1879. She made her Broadway debut in 2012’s The Heiress.
Moayad, who scored and Emmy nomination for playing Stewey on HBO’s Succession and has Broadway credits including The Humans and Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, will play Nora’s husband Torvald Helmer in the production, which producers have called “radical.

At the age of 61, Fran Drescher has started doing stand-up — and she doesn’t want to do it like a man.
“When I do my half hour,” she told IndieWire, “I want to go deeper into life experience, and find the humor in the darkness and despair. I think there’s a shift in female comics, and the way they tell stories, that include things they’re passionate about — whether it’s sexual orientation or health or relationships. I think as women, we’re starting to develop our own style and not just be like the men. That’s what I aspire to be.”
Drescher’s decades-long resume contains many fascinating roles — writer, actress, sitcom star, diplomat, activist — and now, stand-up comedian, a pursuit that’s technically new to her.
So she’s looking to the modern state of the format, as pioneered by comics like Hannah Gatsby. A woman...

Family and friends of those killed onboard Twa Flight 800 will gather Wednesday night at the memorial in Smith Point County Park on the 17th anniversary of the explosion and crash -- at the same time that a documentary, questioning investigators' findings, will be broadcast.
The Boeing 747-100 -- going from New York to Rome, with a stop in Paris -- plummeted into the waters off East Moriches at 8:31 p.m. on July 17, 1996, shortly after takeoff from Kennedy Airport, killing all 230 passengers and crew. A four-year investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board determined that the cause was an accidental fuel tank explosion.
At 8 p.m. the Epix cable TV channel will broadcast "Twa Flight 800," a 90-minute documentary. In it, six former members of the official crash probe rebut the official cause and claim the investigation was systematically undermined.
The Ntsb ruled out a bomb or a missile as the cause.
