Jason Alexander to replace Larry David in Broadway's 'Fish in the Dark'

NEW YORK, March 30 (UPI) -- Jason Alexander is to replace Larry David in the Broadway stage comedy Fish in the Dark, producers announced via Twitter.

"Just announced! Jason Alexander to star in Larry David's Fish in the Dark, beginning June 9, " read the tweet from the show's account.

"It's official! I will take over for my pal, Larry David, in his Bway hit - FISH IN THE DARK, starting June 9. Hope everyone will come," Alexander said in a separate Twitter post.

Alexander and David famously collaborated together on the classic sitcom Seinfeld which David co-created and where Alexander played George.

David wrote Fish in the Dark, which is now playing at the Cort Theatre. It co-stars Jerry Adler, Rosie Perez and Rita Wilson.

"Mr. David plays Norman Drexel, a character who is very much like... Larry David," the play's website said. "Don't miss Fish in the Dark, on Broadway for 18 weeks only. Also starring a bunch of other people who are not Larry David."
