Kristine Nielsen will complete the cast of the Broadway premiere of Taylor Mac's Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus. She will join the previously announced Nathan Lane and Andrea Martin in the production.

Directed by George C. Wolfe, the play will begin performances at the Booth Theatre on March 5, with opening night set for April 11. The creative team will include scenic designer Santo Loquasto, costume designer Ann Roth, and lighting designers Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer. Scott Rudin will serve as lead producer.

Marking Mac's Broadway debut, Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus, set during the fall of the Roman Empire, is described as follows: "the years of bloody battles are over. The civil war has ended. The country has been stolen by madmen, and there are casualties everywhere (among them a midwife on the verge of death — Nielsen). And two very lowly servants — Lane and Martin — are charged with cleaning up the bodies. The year is 400 — but it feels like the end of the world."
