Producers said Tuesday the "Pan Am" star will join two-time Tony Award winner Bebe Neuwirth in a Classic Stage Company production of William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
The off-Broadway show will begin performances March 28 and play through May 6. Neuwirth will play the role of Titania. Ricci will have the role of Hermia.
Ricci made her Broadway debut last season in Donald Margulies' "Time Stands Still," replacing Alicia Silverstone and starring opposite Laura Linney, Brian d'Arcy James and Eric Bogosian.
Ricci burst onto the scene in 1990 as Cher's daughter in "Mermaids" and has built a long list of film credits, including "The Addams Family," ''The Ice Storm," ''Speed Racer" and "Penelope."
Elizabeth Marvel to Rejoin 'Other Desert Cities'
NEW YORK (AP) — Elizabeth Marvel, who was part of the original off-Broadway cast of "Other Desert Cities," will join the show on Broadway.
Lincoln Center Theater said Tuesday that Marvel will replace Rachel Griffiths in Jon Robin Baitz's play on March 6.
Marvel, who created the role of novelist Brooke Wyeth when "Other Desert Cities" debuted off-Broadway last year, will rejoin fellow original cast members Stockard Channing and Stacy Keach.
Griffiths' final performance will be March 4.
The play is about a wealthy, dysfunctional family wrestling with a deep secret. It opened this winter at the Booth Theatre to critical praise.
