Larry David’s New Broadway Show to Kick Off in February

Details are trickling in on Larry David’s new Broadway production, Fish in the Dark, which will begin preview performances on February 2 and open March 5.

The project—previously called Shiva—centers around the death of a family member and will feature David in a role with a personality similar to his own, The New York Times reports.

David’s co-stars will include Jayne Houdyshell, a Tony Award nominee for Well; Oscar nominee Rosie Perez; Jonny Orsini, from The Nance; Jake Cannavale from Basilica; and Jerry Adler, who played Tony’s advisor and friend Hesh Rabkin on The Sopranos.

Producer Scott Rudin, who revealed the date of the show’s opening night, has a strong record of producing hit shows, like Book of Mormon. Tony winner Anna D. Shapiro, who helmed both the Steppenwolf and the Broadway productions of Tracy Letts’ Pulitzer winning August: Osage County, will direct.
