Elisabeth Moss, Jason Biggs to star in Broadway revival of 'The Heidi Chronicles'

NEW YORK, Sept. 11 (UPI) -- Mad Men actress Elisabeth Moss has signed on to play the title role in the first Broadway revival of The Heidi Chronicles early next year, producers announced Thursday.

Jason Biggs, Bryce Pinkham and Tracee Chimo will co-star in the production of Wendy Wasserstein's Pulitzer and Tony award-winning play, which will be directed by Pam MacKinnon.

Rehearsals for the limited engagement are to start in January, with previews to begin in February and an official opening planned for early March at a theater to be announced.

The Heidi Chronicles "traces the coming of age of Heidi Holland as she tries to find her bearings in a rapidly changing world," a synopsis said.

The show was first produced by Playwrights Horizons in the fall of 1988. It then moved to Broadway under the egress of The Shubert Organization, Suntory International Corp. and James Walsh.
