MCC Theater has announced an extension for its currently running production of Matthew Lopez’s comedy The Legend of Georgia McBride, now playing at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. The play, which officially opened on September 9, will now play through October 11. It was previously scheduled to run through October 4.

The Legend of Georgia McBride follows an Elvis impersonator as he becomes a drag queen in order to make ends meet for himself and his pregnant wife. The production marks the MCC Theater debuts of both playwright Lopez and director Donahue.

The company is led by Dave Thomas Brown (Heathers: The Musical), alongside Wayne Duvall (O Brother, Where Art Thou?), Matt McGrath (Hedwig and the Angry Inch), Keith Nobbs (Lombardi), and Afton C. Williamson (Banshee).

The production features choreography by Paul McGill, set design by Donyale Werle, costumes by Anita Yavich, hair and makeup by Jason Hayes, lighting by Ben Stanton, and sound design by Jill DuBoff.
