Tony Award winner Anika Noni Rose will replace previously announced Renée Elise Goldsberry in the upcoming Broadway production of David Lindsay-Abaire’s The Balusters. Goldsberry has left the production due to a scheduling conflict.
Performances will begin Tuesday, March 31 at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. The Balusters will feature Drama Desk Award winner Marylouise Burke as Penny Buell; Emmy Award nominee Carl Clemons-Hopkins as Brooks Duncan; Drama Desk Award nominee Margaret Colin as Ruth Ackerman; Tony and Grammy Award winner Renée Elise Goldsberry as Kyra Marshall; and Emmy Award winner Richard Thomas as Elliott Emerson, with newly announced cast members including Kayli Carter as Willow Gibbons; Ricardo Chavira as Isaac Rosario; Michael Esper as Alan Kirby; Maria-Christina Oliveras as Luz Baccay; and Jeena Yi as Melissa Han.
The Balusters is a raucous, wild ride through a small community with big feelings. The Vernon Point Neighborhood Association is a passionate bunch, whether squabbling over historically inaccurate porch railings or debating trash can protocol. Still, no one is prepared for the neighbor-versus-neighbor battle royale that ensues when a newcomer to the board suggests the unthinkable: installing a stop sign on the corner of the enclave’s prettiest block.
