Daly, Nixon, Slattery Cast in MTC’s Rabbit Hole

Tyne Daly, Cynthia Nixon, and John Slattery will star in the Manhattan Theater Club’s world premiere production of David Lindsay-Abaire’s Rabbit Hole. The production, to be directed by Tony Award winner Daniel Sullivan, will begin performances on January 12 at the Biltmore Theater, with the official opening scheduled for February 2.

In the play, Becca and Howie Corbett (played by Nixon and Slattery) have everything a family could want — but then their world is turned upside down by a life-shattering accident. Daly will play the role of Nat, Becca’s mother.

Among Nixon’s Broadway credits are Hurlyburly, The Real Thing, The Philadelphia Story, Indiscretions (for which she received a Tony Award nomination as Best Featured Actress), and The Women. Nixon won a 2004 Emmy Award for Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her performance as Miranda Hobbes on HBO’s Sex and the City. She appears in the film Little Manhattan, opening on September 30.

Slattery, who guest starred on several episodes of Sex and the City, appeared on Broadway in Laughter on the 23rd Floor and in the revival of Betrayal. He was seen in five previous MTC productions, including Three Days of Rain (opposite Patricia Clarkson).

Daly won a Tony Award for her performance as Rose in the 1989 revival of Gypsy and earned praise for her starring role in the City Center Encores! presentation of Call Me Madam. She is the recipient of six Emmy Awards for her work on Cagney & Lacey and Judging Amy.

Lindsay-Abaire’s plays Fuddy Meers, Wonder of the World, and Kimberly Akimbo were all produced Off-Broadway by MTC. Sullivan is a five-time Tony nominee and won the award for Proof, which originated at MTC. Currently, he is directing Wendy Wasserstein’s Third at Lincoln Center’s Mitzi Newhouse Theater.
