Additional cast members have been announced for the Off-Broadway production of Love, Loss and What I Wore, now at the Westside Theatre. Nora and Delia Ephron’s adaptation of Ilene Beckerman’s 1995 book about clothes and the memories they trigger is directed by Karen Carpenter, and features a series of five-person casts that will play in four-week cycles.

The current cast (through December 13) includes Kristin Chenoweth, Lucy DeVito, Capathia Jenkins, Rhea Perlman, and Rita Wilson. From December 16 to January 3, the show will feature Lucy DeVito, Katie Finneran, Capatha Jenkins, Natasha Lyonne, and Carol Kane (replacing the previously announced Mary Louise Wilson).

From January 6 to 31, the cast will include Finneran, Michele Lee, Debra Monk, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Casey Wilson; Janeane Garofalo, Kane, June Diane Raphael, and Caroline Rhea will perform starting February 3, and the cast beginning March 3 will include Fran Drescher and Didi Conn.

In related news, the production has announced that it has recouped its initial investment after just 11 weeks. A portion of ticket sales for Love, Loss and What I Wore will benefit Dress for Success, a charity that provides work clothing and job support for low-income women.
