Broadway star Nathan Lane will return to the Great White Way this spring in a new play by Douglas Carter Beane (The Little Dog Laughed, Xanadu) called The Nance.  Directed by Jack O’Brien and produced by Lincoln Center Theater, The Nance will begin performances at the Lyceum Theatre on March 21, with opening night set for April 15.

Set in 1930s New York, The Nance is about a popular burlesque sketch performer named Chauncey Miles (Nathan Lane), who plays a stereotypically camp character onstage, but must remain secretive about his real-life homosexuality offstage.

Tony Award-winning actor Nathan Lane was last seen on Broadway in the musical The Addams Family.  Among his many other Broadway credits are Guys and Dolls, Waiting For Godot, The Odd Couple, and, of course, the smash hit The Producers.  Lane is currently guest starring on TV’s The Good Wife, which films in New York City.

Graham Douglass and Nathan Lane

A new web series called The Graham Show, launching on September 28, will focus on the Broadway community.  Hosted by Graham Douglass, the series will feature illuminating interviews with Broadway performers, writers, and other theater folk.  Already scheduled to be interviewed on the series are Nathan Lane, Michael Urie, Adam Pascal (Rent), Jersey Boys‘ writer Rick Elice, Roger Rees, John Tartaglia (Avenue Q), and Christian Borle (a recent Tony winner for Peter and the Starcatcher, series regular on TV’s Smash).

The in-depth interviews, which will be filmed at interesting local venues like Joe’s Pub, will run approximately 30-40 minutes.  Graham Douglass aims to take a youth-oriented approach, targeting the demographic of young theater lovers who he hopes will be inspired by the interviews.  “What better way to encourage the next generation of theater professionals and make lifelong fans out of future ticket buyers than to teach them about the industry directly from the stars they admire?” said Douglass in a press release.

Episodes of The Graham Show can be viewed at www.TheGrahamShow.com.  Each Wednesday, the website will also provide a 60-second overview of Broadway news in a segment called “Instant Graham”.
