On Wednesday, November 18, Lucy DeVito, Katie Finneran, Capathia Jenkins, Rhea Perlman and Rita Wilson took the stage as the new cast of Love, Loss and What I Wore, now at the Westide Theatre, December 16-January 3. The current cast will play through December 13. Finneran stepped in for Tony Award winner Kristin Chenoweth, who has had to delay her start in the show due to illness; Finneran will fill in until Chenoweth is ready.

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 next cast (December 16-January 3) will include Lucy DeVito, Finneran, Capathia Jenkins, Natasha Lyonne, and Mary Louise Wilson; followed by Michele Lee, Debra Monk, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Casey Wilson, who will join Finneran in the show, January 6-31.

A portion of ticket sales will benefit Dress for Success, a charity that provides work clothing and job support for low-income women.
