The cast of the Broadway revival of William Gibson's Tony Award-winning play The Miracle Worker met the press on Monday, January 25.

The cast features Abigail Breslin as Helen, Alison Pill as Annie, Jennifer Morrison as Kate Keller, Matthew Modine as Captain Keller, Elizabeth Franz as Aunt Ev, Tobias Segal as James, Daniel Oreskes as Doctor/Anagnos, Michael Cummings as Percy, Simone Joy Jones as Martha, Yvette Ganier as Janey, and Lance Chantiles-Wentz as Jimmie.
