Robert Eli, John McMartin, James Rebhorn, and Rosie Benton will star in Noah Haidle’s Saturn Returns, which will begin performances at Lincoln Center Theater’s Mitzi Newhouse Theatre on October 16. The production, to be directed by Nicholas Martin, will open on Monday, November 10.
The show focuses on one man, Gustin (to be played at the three different stages of his life by Eli, McMartin and Rebhorn) during these pivotal moments as he confronts the three women in his life (all to be played by Benton). It will have sets by Ralph Funicello, costumes by Robert Morgan, and original music and sound design by Mark Bennett.
The Newhouse season will continue in Spring 2009 with Happiness, a new musical by John Weidman, Scott Frankel, and Michael Korie, about a disparate group of New Yorkers caught on a subway train under unusual circumstances. It will be directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Susan Stroman, and will have sets by Thomas Lynch, costumes by William Ivey Long, lighting by Peter Kaczorowski, and sound design by Scott Lehrer.
As previously announced, Lincoln Center will present Horton Foote’s Dividing the Estate at the Booth Theatre, starting on October 20, and LCT3, a new programming initiative devoted to the work of emerging playwrights, directors and designers, will debut with Clay, a one-man, hip-hop musical written and performed by Matt Sax and directed by Eric Rosen, starting on October 6 at the Duke on 42nd Street.
