Julianna Margulies and Peter Gallagher will star in Broadway Play

Actors Julianna Margulies and Peter Gallagher will star in a stage adaptation of “Left on the tenth”, Delia Ephron’s memoir of a late-life romance.

Producer Daryl Roth said Friday that she planned to bring the play, adapted by Ephron and directed by Susan Stroman, to Broadway next fall. She did not specify a theater or opening date.

“Left on Tenth,” published in 2022, is about how Ephron simultaneously battled cancer and found love in the years after the deaths of her husband and sister (the essayist and filmmaker Nora Ephron).

Ephron is a novelist and screenwriter, best known for “You’ve Got Mail,” which she co-wrote with her sister. She and her sister also collaborated on an earlier play, “Love, Loss, and What I Wore.”

The ‘Left on Tenth’ team has a long list of references. Roth has produced 13 Tony-winning shows and seven Pulitzer-winning plays; Stroman has won five Tony Awards as a director and choreographer.

Margulies, currently starring on “The Morning Show” on Apple TV+, has appeared on Broadway once before, in the 2006 play “Festen.” Gallagher is a Broadway veteran who most recently starred in a revival of “On the Twentieth Century’ in 2015; he has also worked extensively in film and television.

Also on Friday the producers of the new musical ‘Tammy Faye,” about televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker, said their show, which they announced last fall, would begin previews on October 19 and open at the Palace Theater on November 14. The Broadway production will star Katie Brayben as the title character, and Andrew Rannells as her husband, Jim Bakker; the two artists previously played these roles in a production of the musical at London’s Almeida Theater in 2022. “Tammy Faye” features music by Elton John, lyrics by Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters and a book by James Graham; the show is directed by Rupert Goold.
