Mad Men star Elisabeth Moss may headline a new Broadway production of Wendy Wasserstein's Pulitzer Prize- and Tony-winning drama, The Heidi Chronicles, next winter or spring, The New York Times reports.
No official timeline, casting, or theater for the revival, expected to be directed by Tony winner Pam Mackinnon, has been set. The production depends upon Moss' availability and additional casting. Jeffrey Richards, the producer of the current Broadway productions All the Way and The Realistic Joneses, serves as lead producer.
The Heidi Chronicles explores the life of the fictional Heidi Holland, from her high school days in 1960 to her career as an art historian, as she deals with the changing roles of women over the course of more than two decades. The play premiered at Playwrights Horizons in 1988 before transferring to Broadway's Plymouth Theatre in 1989. The original cast included Joan Allen, Boyd Gaines, and Peter Friedman.
Moss is a four-time Emmy nominee for her performance as Peggy Olson on AMC's Mad Men. She made her Broadway debut in Richards' 2008 Broadway revival of David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow.
