Broadway it is!

Four-time Oscar nominee Ed Harris is set to play lawyer Atticus Finch in Broadway’s To Kill a Mockingbird after the departure of Jeff Daniels. Daniels left the show in November 2018, at the end of his year-long run in Aaron Sorkin’s mega-selling stage adaptation.

Producer Scott Rudin confirmed Harris’ casting following a report in The New York Times. Harris has not appeared on Broadway since the 1996 Ronald Harwood World War II drama Taking Sides. He starred with Daniel Massey, Ann Dowd, Elizabeth Marvel and Michael Stuhlbarg in the production. —PTI
