Laura Linney and Cynthia Noxon will star in a new Broadway revival of Lillian Hellman’s drama “The Little Foxes,” the Manhattan Theatre Club announced Tuesday.
In a first for the nonprofit theater, the stars will alternate the 1939 drama’s two lead roles — dueling sisters-in-law Regina Hubbard Giddens and Birdie Hubbard in a strong-willed aristocratic Southern family.
The limited-run revival will be directed by Tony winner Daniel Sullivan and begin previews on March 29, 2017, in advance of an official opening on April 19 at MTC’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.
The schedule of which actress will play which role at each performance will be announced in spring 2017.
