Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone are two entertainment legends: Farrow, a Golden Globe Award winner, is best known for her screen career, for which she frequently collaborated with her ex, Woody Allen. She appeared as Rosemary in Roman Polanski's Rosemary's Baby, for which she was nominated for a BAFTA Award and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. She went on to appear in The Great Gatsby, Death on the Nile, and Crimes and Misdemeanors, amongst other films. Farrow has also appeared on Broadway, last taking the stage here a decade ago.

LuPone is more well-known for her theatre career. Spanning the West End (Sunset Boulevard, Les Misérables) and Broadway (Sweeney Todd, Gypsy, War Paint, Company), the multiple Tony Award winner is one of today’s most celebrated Broadway icons. Paired with Jack O’Brien, another theatre legend, and Jen Silverman, a Yale Drama Series Award winner, the play is sure to be a fan favorite this fall.
