"Mice And Men" Returns to Broadway After 40 Years
The classic John Steinbeck novel Of Mice and Men will come to the Broadway stage early next year in a new production starring James Franco, Chris O'Dowd, and Leighton Meester. Anna D. Shapiro will direct the production, which will mark the first time that Of Mice and Men has been seen on Broadway in 40 years.
James Franco (Oz the Great and Powerful, 127 Hours) will take on the main role of George, while O'Dowd (Bridesmaids) will play his sweet but simple-minded friend Lennie. Meester (TV's Gossip Girl) will play Curley's wife.
