MCC Theater announced today that three-time Tony nominee Joshua Henry (Carousel), Ciara Renée (Big Fish), and Ryan Vasquez (Hamilton) will star in the upcoming world premiere of The Wrong Man, the new stage musical written by multiplatinum songwriter Ross Golan.
The Wrong Man begins performances September 18 with opening night set for October 7.
