The new Broadway revival of Wendy Wasserstein's The Heidi Chronicles celebrates its opening night tonight, March 19, at the Music Box Theatre. The drama began previews February 23.

Mad Men star Elisabeth Moss returns to Broadway in this new production, which is directed by Tony winner Pam MacKinnon. The show also stars Jason Biggs, Bryce Pinkham, Tracee Chimo, Ali Ahn, Leighton Bryan, Elise Kibler, and Andy Truschinski.

The Heidi Chronicles follows two decades in the life of Heidi Holland (played by Moss), from high school in the 1960s to her career as an art historian.

Pinkham will play Heidi's best friend, pediatrician Peter Patrone. Chimo takes on multiple supporting roles.

The production features scenic design by John Lee Beatty, costume design by Jessica Pabst, lighting design by Japhy Weideman, sound design by Jill BC Du Boff, projection design by Peter Nigrini, and hair and make-up design by Leah J. Loukas.
