Peter Scolari will co-star in Ben Andron’s comedy White Lies, which will begin previews on March 8 at New World Stages. The production, which will open officially on March 22, will be directed by Bob Cline. Additional casting will be announced shortly.
The play concerns Joe White, a successful lawyer and womanizing bachelor whose life changes when his mother drops a bombshell on him: she’s got cancer and her dying wish is to have a grandchild. Scolari will play the role of Alan, Joe White’s best friend and law partner.
Scolari has starred on Broadway in the Sly Fox and Hairspray, and in the City Center Encores! productions of Ziegfeld Follies of 1936 and Out of this World. He is best known for his work on the TV series Newhart and Bosom Buddies.
