The production marks the first revival of the play, written by Yasmina Reza and translated by Christopher Hampton, which follows three longtime friends who launch into a debate about art after one of them purchases a large, expensive and completely white painting. The play, directed by Scott Ellis, is slated to run at Broadway’s Music Box starting Aug. 28, with an opening night Sept. 16.

The production is slated to play a 17-week limited engagement through Dec. 21, 2025.

The play first ran on Broadway in 1998 starring Alan Alda, Victor Garber and Alfred Molina, who won a Tony Award for best actor.

This marks the first return to Broadway for Corden since he starred in One Man, Two Guvnors in 2012 and won a Tony Award for best leading actor in a play.

Patrick Stewart was initially curious about why Whoopi Goldberg joined Star Trek, but he was won over by her warm and friendly nature. Goldberg's personal connection to the original Star Trek, particularly the presence of a Black woman in the cast, is what motivated her to join The Next Generation. Stewart and Goldberg have since become close friends, bonding over their shared experience in the Star Trek universe.

Patrick Stewart and Whoopi Goldberg are close friends but when she joined the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation in 1988, Stewart needed to understand why an Academy Award nominee and Hollywood star wanted to join Star Trek. In Tng season 2, Goldberg came aboard the USS Enterprise-d as Guinan, the wise and mysterious bartender who was an old friend of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Stewart).

Michael Shulman is frequently cast as a young innocent, but he didn't start his new production company, Starry Night, to combat typecasting by creating roles for himself. "I want to be involved in the creative process and to understand how projects get made," he says. "I will not be in every project." But he admits that being the producer allows him to shape the characters he does play. Sherman's Way, Starry Night's first production, is an example.In this easygoing road-trip movie, which was released March 5, Shulman plays an overindulged, well-heeled mama's boy traveling through Northern California with an over-the-hill, blue-collar former Olympian. The two men, who have nothing in common, learn important lessons and grow up together. "I didn't want this to be just a rich kid who doesn't care," Shulman says. "So I tried to find the parts of Sherman that do care. If Sherman cares—if I care—the audience cares.
