Oscar nominee Steve Carell (The Office, Foxcatcher, Little Miss Sunshine) will make his Broadway debut in the title role of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya in a new adaptation by Heidi Schreck at Lincoln Center's Vivian Beaumont Theater. Directed by Lila Neugebauer, previews begin April 2 in advance of an April 24 opening. Carell will be joined by Emmy nominee William Jackson Harper (The Good Place), Tony nominee Alfred Molina (Art, Red), Alison Pill (Three Tall Women), Tony winner Anika Noni Rose (Caroline or Change), Tony winner Jayne Houdyshell (The Humans), and Obie and Drama Desk winner Mia Katigbak (Awake and Sing, Henry VI). Carell plays the melancholy Vanya who runs the family estate with his niece Sonya (Pill). Their placid existence is turned upside down when her famous father (Molina) makes an extended stay with his beautiful, much younger wife (Rose). There is still one role, the neighbor Waffles, which was not included in the announcement.

Enemy Update: The upcoming revival of Ibsen's An Enemy of the People has announced dates, a theater and more casting. Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG Award winner Jeremy Strong (Succession) will be joined by Emmy winner Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos, The White Lotus). The new adaptation by Amy Herzog will begin previews on Feb. 27 at the Circle in the Square Theater with an opening set for March 18. Tony winner Sam Gold directs.
