Signature Theatre has announced that four-time Tony winner Boyd Gaines (Gypsy) will join the previously announced Emmy and Tony winner Debra Monk (Curtains) in the world premiere of Mrs. Miller Does Her Thing. The new musical play will run February 28-March 26.
Written and directed by Pulitzer Prize winner James Lapine (Falsettos), Mrs. Miller Does Her Thing is based on the real-life story of Elva Miller, who gained notoriety as an unlikely pop phenomenon in the 1960s for her renditions of "Downtown," "Monday, Monday," "A Hard Day’s Night," and more.
Debra Monk and Boyd Gaines will star as Mrs. and Mr. Miller in the production. They last appeared together in the 1995 Roundabout Theatre revival of Company. Further casting and creative team members will be announced in the coming weeks.
"I am beyond thrilled to be working with Debra Monk and Boyd Gaines on my play Mrs. Miller Does Her Thing," said director and playwright Lapine in statement. "This is a show that touches on a period of time (the late 1960s) that we three lived through. Their roles will offer these extraordinary actors an opportunity to demonstrate the full range of their gifts as well as bring their own personal experiences to their performances."
