Dead Accounts delays first preview due to storm

Due to Hurricane Sandy, Theresa Rebeck's new comedy Dead Accounts, will now begin previews on 5 Nov 2012 at the Music Box Theatre. The show, which was originally scheduled to begin previews on 3 Nov 2012, will still open on 29 Nov 2012 as first announced.

Starring two-time Tony Award winner Norbert Leo Butz and Katie Holmes, Dead Accounts, directed by three-time Tony Award winner Jack O'Brien, also stars, Judy Greer, Josh Hamilton, and two-time Tony Award nominee Jayne Houdyshell.

In Dead Accounts, Jack's (Norbert Leo Butz) unexpected return throws his family into a frenzy, and his sister Lorna (Katie Holmes) needs answers. Is he coming home or running away?
