Producers Sonia Friedman Productions and Roy Furman today announced new casting information for Leopoldstadt, Tom Stoppard’s Olivier Award-winning Best New Play, directed by two-time Tony Award nominee Patrick Marber, now playing through July 2, 2023 at the Longacre Theatre (220 West 48th Street) on Broadway.

Beginning Tuesday, March 14, Joshua Malina (“The West Wing,” “Sports Night”) will take over the role of Hermann. Dave Register (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) also joins the company in the role of Fritz, and Cody Braverman joins in the role of Young Leo.

Leopoldstadt will also welcome current company members Jesse Aaronson in the role of Leo, in addition to his current role as Aaron; Charlotte Graham in the role of Nellie; and Sarah Killough in the role of Eva.

Arty Froushan, David Krumholtz, Caissie Levy, and Tedra Millan will play their final performances on Sunday, March 12.

Set in Vienna, Leopoldstadt takes its title from the Jewish quarter. This passionate drama of love and endurance begins in the last days of 1899 and follows one extended family deep into the heart of the 20th Century. Full of his customary wit and beauty, Tom Stoppard’s late work spans fifty years of time over two hours. “Tom Stoppard is endlessly intrigued by questions of fate, chance, coincidence, in history as well as in love, and in the epic, breathtaking Leopoldstadt, he examines the consequence of an entire people trapped in a common fate” (The Washington Post). With a cast of 38 actors and direction by Patrick Marber, Leopoldstadt is now playing on Broadway. This is a play that ‘demands to be seen’ (The Daily Beast).

Perhaps the most personal play of Stoppard’s unmatched career, Leopoldstadt opened on October 2, 2022 to rave reviews. New York’s critics said:

“It is virtually inconceivable that this theater season will produce anything superior to Tom Stoppard’s Leopoldstadt. This inexpressibly moving play ranks among Mr. Stoppard’s greatest works.”
- Charles Isherwood, The Wall Street Journal

“A breathtakingly brilliant and gorgeously acted production.”
- Chris Jones, The Chicago Tribune

“CRITIC’S PICK. The acting is excellent across the board, with too many standouts to name.”
- Jesse Green, The New York Times

“As a vehicle for recovered memories, and for interrogating the injustice of difference and persistent intolerance, Leopoldstadt is remarkable.”
- Naveen Kumar, New York Magazine

Leopoldstadt previously received the Olivier Award for Best New Play in October 2020. This production marks Tom Stoppard’s 19th play on Broadway since his groundbreaking Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead opened 55 years ago. Stoppard has won four Best Play Tony Awards, more than any other playwright in history.
