Jason Alexander Withdraws From Role in Bay Street Theater Play

Bay Street Theater recently announced that actor Jason Alexander, who was previously supposed to star in the second play of the theater’s 2015 Mainstage Summer Season, Other People’s Money, had to withdraw from his role.

He announced that he will not be able to star in the play because he will be taking over for Larry David in Fish in the Dark on Broadway.

“It is with the greatest regret that I have to withdraw my commitment to Bay Street Theater and the production of Other People’s Money,” Alexander said. “I have been hearing for some time how glorious it is to work there and how successful and special every production has been, and how it serves its most appreciative audience. It is my fervent hope that I will have that experience in the near future. It is only unforeseen circumstances that have caused this change of plan and my desire to play at Bay Street has not lessened one bit.”

Bay Street Theater officials said in a statement that they wish Alexander “all the best on his Broadway run”.

The 2015 Mainstage Season will begin on May 26 and runs through August 30.

Subscriptions are available by calling the Box Office at 631-725-9500 or online at www.baystreet.org.

The Mainstage season will begin with the world premiere of The New Sincerity/ A New Comedy by Alena Smith, directed by Bob Balaban which will run from May 26 to June 14.

Additionally, Grey Gardens/A Musical, with music by Scott Frankel, lyrics by Michael Korie, and book by Doug Wright, directed by Michael Wilson will run from August 4 to August 30.
