Austin Durant<\/a> (Moulin Rouge! The Musical<\/a>, War Horse) and Henry Stram<\/a> (Network<\/a>, Titanic<\/a>) have joined the cast of\u00a0Classic Stage Company<\/a>‘s upcoming production of Clifford Odets<\/a>‘ Waiting for Lefty<\/a>,
\n set to play the Off-Broadway company’s Lynn F. Angelson Theater October
\n 15-November 22, opening November 2. Actor Steven Pasquale<\/a> is directing,
\n making his directorial debut with the staging.<\/p>\n

Durant and Stram\u00a0replace the previously reported <\/a>Conrad Ricamora<\/a> (Oh, Mary!<\/a>) and Thom Sesma<\/a> (Dead Outlaw<\/a>), who have departed the production.<\/p>\n

That cast will also\u00a0include the previously announced\u00a0Tala Ashe<\/a> (English<\/a>), Raffi Barsoumian (Les Liaisons Dangereuses), Adam Chanler-Berat<\/a> (Next to Normal<\/a>), Greg Hildreth<\/a> (Chicago), Doireann Mac Mahon (The Honey Trap), Zach McNally (West Side Story), Sahar Milani (Hound Dog), and\u00a0Cameron Scoggins<\/a> (The Hills of California<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Odets’ play, which premiered in 1935, centers on a group of exhausted
\n Depression-era New York City taxi drivers gathering to make a
\nlife-changing choice. Pasquale’s production will transform CSC into a
\nhigh-stakes union hall, newly featuring original music and arrangements (by Yeller Tooth,
\n aka Sahar Milani and Cameron Scoggins) and choreography (by Susan Misner<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The production will also have\u00a0scenic design by Scott Adam Davis,
\ncostume design by M\u00e1rion Tal\u00e1n de la Rosa, lighting design by Mextly
\nCouzin, and sound design by Palmer Hefferan<\/a>.<\/p>\n
