THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER – The play, directed by Kenny Leon, is scheduled to begin previews at the Barrymore Theatre on Sept. 17.

Jim Parsons, Zoey Deutch and Katie Holmes will star in the Broadway revival of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town this fall.

In the production, directed by Kenny Leon, Parsons will play the role of Stage Manager, Deutch will play Emily Webb and Holmes will play Mrs. Webb. They lead a cast of 28 actors, who also include Richard Thomas (The Waltons, To Kill a Mockingbird) as Mr. Webb, Ephraim Sykes (Ain’t Too Proud, Hairspray Live!) as George Gibbs and Billy Eugene Jones (Purlie Victorious) as Dr. Gibbs.

The play will begin previews at the Barrymore Theatre on Sept. 17, ahead of an Oct. 10 opening.

This is the first major Broadway revival of Our Town in close to 25 years. The play first appeared on Broadway in 1938 and won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
