Tony Award and Academy Award winner Mercedes Ruehl will play Edna to Jeff Goldblum's Mel in The Old Vic Theatre's revival of Neil Simon's The Prisoner of Second Avenue, to run, as previously announced, June 30-September 11 at the West End's Vaudeville Theatre. 2010 Tony Award nominee Terry Johnson will direct the production, which will feature designs by Rob Howell and lighting design by Neil Austin.
