Manhattan Theatre Club announced that Tony and Grammy Award nominee Micaela Diamond and Will Pullen have joined the cast of the company’s upcoming Broadway production of Clifford Odets’ 1935 American drama, Awake and Sing!

Directed by Tyne Rafaeli, Awake and Sing! will start performances on December 15, with opening night set for January 7, at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.

Awake and Sing! takes place in the Bronx in the 1930 as three generations of the Berger family, trapped inside their cramped tenement, struggle to hold different visions of an American dream.

Diamond will play Hennie Berger, and Pullen will play Ralph Berger. They join previously announced cast members Tony Award winner Danny Burstein as Uncle Morty, Tony and Emmy Award nominee Jessica Hecht as Bessie Bergert, and Tony Award nominee Jeremy Shamos as Myron Berger. Additional casting will be announced at a later date.

The production features scenic and costume design by three-time Tony Award winner David Zinn, lighting design by three-time Tony Award nominee Isabella Byrd, and original music and sound design by five-time Tony Award nominee Daniel Kluger. The dialect and vocal coach is Kate Wilson.
