Stage and screen favorite Tony Danza (Honeymoon in Vegas) will take the stage of the Westside Theatre on Monday, August 8, to perform in Nassim Soleimanpour's White Rabbit Red Rabbit.

White Rabbit Red Rabbit is described as follows: "Forbidden to leave his country, young Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour found a way for his voice to get out when he physically could not — distilling the experience of his isolation in an audacious and utterly nontraditional new play. This wildly entertaining and thought-provoking theatrical piece — where no audience can see the same show twice — blends drama, comedy and social experiment, providing audiences with a potent reminder of the transformative power of theater."

The production features a rotating cast of stars who will see the script for the first time immediately before stepping onstage for their performances: "No rehearsal. No director. No set. No spoilers," says the production. "A different performer each night is handed the script for the first time as they step onto the stage."

Olivier Award and Tony Award nominee Ramin Karimloo (Les Miserables) will perform on August 1, two-time Drama Desk Award-winning stage and television star Michael Urie (Buyer and Cellar) will perform on August 22, and Emmy Award nominee and acclaimed stage actor Darren Criss (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) will take the stage on August 29.
