Casting has been announced for Classic Stage Company's world premiere production of Terrence McNally's Fire and Air. Directed by John Doyle, the production runs January 17-February 25, with opening set for February 1.

Fire and Air explores the rich history of the Ballets Russes, Sergei Diaghilev’s itinerant Russian ballet company. Surrounded by great talents of art, design, and music, the tempestuous relationship between Diaghilev and dancer Vaslav Nijinsky revolutionizes dance forever.

The company is set to include James Cusati-Moyer (Nijinsky), John Glover (Dima), Douglas Hodge (Diaghilev), Jay Armstrong Johnson (Massine), Marsha Mason (Dunya), and Marin Mazzie (Misia). The production features scenic design by John Doyle, costume design by Ann Hould-Ward, lighting design by Jane Cox, sound design by Matt Stine, and hair and make-up design by J. Jared Janas.
