Barbie Ferreira has joined a Broadway cult…
The 27-year-old Brazilian American actress has joined the cast of Cult of Love, the upcoming new Broadway play by writer and showrunner Leslye Headland.
In addition to Ferreira, the play will feature a cast that includes Shailene Woodley and Zachary Quinto.
The Second Stage Theater production, directed by Trip Cullman, also will feature Molly Bernard, Roberta Colindrez, Rebecca Henderson, Christopher Lowell and Christopher Sears.
Ferrari will be making her Broadway debut.
The play, in its New York premiere, will begin previews on November 20 at Second Stage’s Helen Hayes Theater, with an official opening on December 12.
Additional casting will be announced shortly.
The play’s synopsis reads: “It’s the holiday season for the Dahl family! The four adult children return to their childhood home with partners in tow. The Dahl traditions include singing carols in harmony at the drop of a hat, but the gathering is anything but harmonious. Old conflicts resurface, new issues battled, and dinner is taking absolutely forever to be served. Will the love the Dahls have for each other be enough to get them through, or will this be their last Christmas together?”
Cult of Love will feature scenic design by John Lee Beatty, costume design by Sophia Choi, lighting design by Heather Gilbert, and sound design by Darron L West. The Music Supervisor is Jacinth Greywoode.
The play had its world premiere at IAMA in January 2018.
