Full Cast Announced for Frost/Nixon National Tour

Stacy Keach

Full casting has been announced for the national tour of Peter Morgan's Frost/Nixon, which will launch in Des Moines, IA at the Des Moines Civic Center, September 30-October 5. The production will be directed by Michael Grandage, with associate director Seth Sklar-Heyn.

Frost/Nixon, which garnered a 2007 Tony Award nomination for Best Play, takes audiences into the minds of Richard Nixon and David Frost and shows the determination, conviction and lengths that these two men, and their closest confidantes, went to as they took the stage in one of the most hard fought political interviews in history.

As previously announced, Stacy Keach will portray the role of former president Richard Nixon and Alan Cox will play David Frost. The cast will also include Meghan Andrews as Evonne Goolagong, Bob Ari as Bob Zelnick, Antony Hagopian as John Birt, Roxanna Hope as Caroline Cushing, Ted Koch as Jack Brennan, Stephen Rowe as Swifty Lazar, Brian Sgambati as Jim Reston and Noel Velez as Manolo Sanchez. Rounding out the ensemble are David Sitler, Peter Hilton and Tamara Lovatt-Smith.

The tour will feature sets and costumes by Christopher Oram, lighting by Neil Austin, original music and sound by Adam Cork, and video design by Jon Driscoll.

Keach received a Tony Award nomination for Indians and last appeared on Broadway in The Kentucky Cycle. He is the winner of four Drama Desk and three Obie Awards for his New York stage work, which also includes Hamlet, Long Day's Journey Into Night, and MacBird. Cox appeared in the 2007 Broadway revival of Translations and the HBO miniseries John Adams.
