Tony Award nominee Kate Baldwin (Big Fish) will star in Keen Company's upcoming revival of John & Jen, a 1995 musical by Andrew Lippa and Tom Greenwald not seen in New York since its premiere. Performances begin February 10, with opening night set for February 26 at the Clurman Theatre at Theatre Row.

Spanning 1952-1990, John & Jen is a two-person show about the relationship between a brother and a sister, and her relationship with her son. Baldwin takes on the role of Jen, originated at the Lamb's Theatre by Carolee Carmello. Casting for the role of John, originated by James Ludwig, will be announced in the coming months.

Baldwin appeared on Broadway in Lippa's 2013 musical Big Fish. She received a Tony nomination for her performance in Finian's Rainbow, and has starred in Can-Can, Giant, The Music Man, Wonderful Town, Thoroughly Modern Mille, and The Full Monty. Lippa is also the author of the musicals The Wild Party and The Addams Family, as well as the oratorio I Am Harvey Milk.

The Keen Company revival of John & Jen will be directed by Jonathan Silverstein, the company's artistic director. The production will include the premiere of a brand-new song, called "Trouble with Men." Additional casting and information about the production will be announced in the coming months.
