MTC's Top Girls Take The Stage

Manhattan Theatre Club's Broadway production of Top Girl opens at the Biltmore Theatre on May 7. The show began previews on April 15.

According to MTC, "At the Top Girls Employment Agency in London in the early 1980s, Marlene has just been appointed head of the firm. But as this ambitious career woman celebrates her achievements, can we applaud her values? This work [by Caryl Churchill] offers one of the theatre's most honest portraits of what it means to be a woman in the modern world."

Directed by James Macdonald, the cast includes Mary Catherine Garrison (as Patient Griselda/Jeanine/Kit/Shona), three-time Tony nominee Mary Beth Hurt (as Louise/Waitress), three-time Obie Award winner Elizabeth Marvel (as Marlene), Drama Desk Award winner Martha Plimpton (as Pope Joan/Angie), Academy Award winner Marisa Tomei (as Isabella Bird/Joyce/Mrs. Kidd), Jennifer Ikeda (as Lady Nijo/Win), and Ana Reeder (as Dull/Gret/Nell).

The creative team for Top Girls includes Tom Pye (scenic design), Laura Bauer (costume design), Christopher Akerlind (lighting design), Darron L West (sound design), Matthew Herbert (original music), and Elizabeth Smith (dialect consultant).
