Roundabout Theatre Company has announced casting for the upcoming Broadway revival of Michael Frayn’s comedy Noises Off. The production, which is scheduled to begin previews on December 17 and open on January 14, 2016, will be directed by Jeremy Herrin at the American Airlines Theatre. As previously announced, Tony and Emmy Award winner Andrea Martin will star as as Dotty Otley.

Joining Martin are Campbell Scott as Lloyd Dallas, Tracee Chimo (The Heidi Chronicles) as Poppy Norton-Taylor, Daniel Davis (La Cage aux Folles) as Selsdon Mowbray, David Furr (The Importance of Being Earnest) as Garry Lejeune, Kate Jennings Grant (The Country House) as Belinda Blair, Megan Hilty (9 to 5) as Brooke Ashton, Rob McClure (Honeymoon in Vegas) as Tim Allgood, and Jeremy Shamos (The Assembled Parties) as Frederick Fellowes. Tony nominee Jeremy Herrin will direct the new Broadway production.

Noises Off is a classic show-within-a-show comedy that follows the goings-on during the final dress rehearsal of a comedy called Nothing On — and all that can go wrong does. The play made its Broadway premiere in 1983 and was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play. The original production ran more than 550 performances.

The creative team for Noises Off includes Derek McLane (sets), Michael Krass (costumes), Jane Cox (lighting), and Christopher Cronin (sound).
