Emmy winner Kyra Sedgwick will take on the off-Broadway solo show White Rabbit Red Rabbit on April 25 at the at the Westside Theatre. She replaces the previously announced Alan Cumming, who has had to change his appearance in the show to June 6. Ticketholders still wishing to see Cumming will be offered the first opportunity to exchange their tickets.

White Rabbit Red Rabbit is described as follows: "Forbidden to leave his country, young Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour found a way for his voice to get out when he physically could not — distilling the experience of his isolation in an audacious and utterly nontraditional new play. This wildly entertaining and thought-provoking theatrical piece — where no audience can see the same show twice — blends drama, comedy and social experiment, providing audiences with a potent reminder of the transformative power of theater."

The production features a rotating cast of stars who will see the script for the first time immediately before stepping onstage for their performances. "No rehearsal. No director. No set. No spoilers. A different performer each night is handed the script for the first time as they step onto the stage."
