Five-time Tony winner George C. Wolfe will direct the production scheduled to begin previews on 22 March and open on 26 April at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/the-iceman-cometh-tickets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tickets for all dates can be bought here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Denzel Washington, the two-time Oscar winner, will play the lead role of Theodore Hickman known as Hickey, a charming travelling salesman. This poetic drama will unfold in a Manhattan saloon when Hickey, himself deeply conflicted, passionately encourages fellow alcoholics to abandon their pipe dreams and take hold of harsh reality.<\/p>\n<p>Denzel Washington appeared on Broadway several times since his debut in \u201cCheckmates\u201d in 1988. He starred in \u201cFences\u201d in 2010, winning a Tony Award and in \u201cA Raisin in the Sun\u201d in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>The two-time Tony nominee and Emmy winner Tammy Blanchard has been recently casted and picked for the role of Cora. She earned her Tony nominations for her roles as Louise in the 2003 revival of \u201cGypsy\u201d and Hedy La Rue in 2011 production of \u201cHow to Succeed in Business without Really Trying\u201d. Her most successful roles on the screen are as Florinda in \u201cInto the Woods\u201d and as Judy in \u201cLife with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Iceman Cometh\u201d is described as a \u201cmasterwork\u201d and \u201cthe greatest American playwright\u201d by critics and we can freely say that Eugene O\u2019Neill\u2019s tragic vision remains undiminished by time. The latest revival of the play was in 1999 when Kevin Spacey played Hickey and we simply can\u2019t wait to see Denzel in this high demanding role. The play will be produced by Scott Rudin who produced \u201cFences\u201d and \u201cShuffle Along\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Since George C. Wolfe staged last season\u2019s successes \u201cShuffle Along\u201d, \u201cOr The Making of the Musical Sensation of 1921\u201d and \u201cAll that Followed\u201d, and now directs the revival with such a great cast, this 14-week run is expected to hit the roof both with numbers in box office and critics.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t miss the opportunity to watch the Tony and Oscar winners in theatre and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/the-iceman-cometh-tickets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">purchase your tickets right away<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Iceman Cometh<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Show Date and Time: Thursday, 22 March 2018, 7pm<\/p>\n<p>Show Location: Bernard B.
