(The rest of the cast has not yet been announced.)<br /><br />In other news of Steve Martin, his new play, 'Meteor Shower,' is scheduled to open at the Booth Theatre on Broadway on 29 November 2017 for an open-ended run. The marital comedy will also be comedian Amy Schumer's Broadway début. The rest of the cast will include Laura Benanti, Keegan-Michael Key, and Alan Tudyk; Jerry Zaks will direct. <br /><br />~RickRickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164037407475532693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5641398182926491003.post-61059185044515855582016-05-10T14:12:15.908-04:002016-05-10T14:12:15.908-04:00On Monday, 9 May, the Outer Critics Circle announc...On Monday, 9 May, the Outer Critics Circle announced its annual award winners for this season.
