The Tony-winning Broadway production of Simon Stephens' The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time will welcome a brand new cast to the Barrymore Theatre this fall.

Tony winner Alex Sharp and fellow cast members Ian Barford (Ed), Helen Carey (Mrs. Alexander), Francesca Faridany (Siobhan), Taylor Trensch (Christopher at certain performances), and ensemble member Jocelyn Bioh will depart the drama on September 13, with Tyler Lea (Christopher), Rosie Benton (Siobhan), Andrew Long (Ed), Nancy Robinette (Mrs. Alexander), and Benjamin Wheelwright (Christopher at certain performances) joining the company on September 15.

Current cast members Enid Graham (Judy) and ensemble members Keren Dukes, Stephanie Roth Haberle, Mercedes Herrero, Richard Hollis, Ben Horner, David Manis, Tom Patrick Stephens, and Timothy Wright continue with the show.

The Broadway production of the National Theatre’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time opened at the Barrymore on October 5, 2015, and received five Tony Awards including Best Play, six Drama Desk Awards including Outstanding Play, five Outer Critics Circle Awards including Outstanding Production of a Broadway Play, and the Drama League Award for Outstanding Production of a Broadway or off-Broadway Play.

Adapted from Mark Haddon's bestselling novel, and directed by Tony Award-winner Marianne Elliott, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time tells the story of 15-year-old Christopher, who is exceptionally intelligent but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. When he falls under suspicion for killing his neighbor's dog, he sets out on a journey to identify the true culprit.
