As already announced, transferring with the show following its world premiere in New York last year will be Tracie Bennett and Denis O’Hare (Tartuffe). Also in the cast are Rory Kinnear, Chumisa Dornford-May, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Richard Fleeshman, Harry Hadden-Paton, Cameron Johnson, Jane Krakowski, Martha Plimpton and Paulo Szot.
