The Miracle Worker Starring Abigail Breslin And Alison Pill, Is Scheduled To Open At The Circle In The Square Theater In February 2010 After The 2003 Production Fell Through
The Miracle Worker is Broadway-bound
A new production of William Gibson's wonderful play The Miracle Worker is bound for Broadway in February 2010.
Young film actress Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine, Signs, and the new release Zombieland) will play Helen Keller in this production alongside New York theater regular Alison Pill (Mauritius and The Lieutenant of Inishmore on Broadway) as her determined teacher Annie Sullivan.
Kate Whoriskey Directs
The production, under the direction of Ruined helmer Kate Whoriskey, will play at the Circle in the Square Theatre. A 2003 production of The Miracle Worker starring Hilary Swank was supposed to come to Broadway following its run in Charlotte, but that engagement fell through.
The drama is of course well known to movie audiences everywhere because of the fine film version starring Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke, who both starred in the original Broadway production.
