Irena's Vow: Tickets are now on sale to the general public

Tickets are now on sale for Dan Gordon's Irena's Vow, starring four-time Tony nominee, Tovah Feldshuh, and directed by Michael Parva, opening at the Walter Kerr Theatre on 29 Mar 2009, following previews from 10 Mar 2009.

Irena's Vow: During the Nazi occupation of Poland, Irena Gut Opdyke, a Polish Catholic, was forced to work as head housekeeper for a very prominent Nazi major. Over a two year period of service, Irena would risk her own life in order to save the lives of twelve Jewish refugees whom she secretly took under her care.

The show will mark Feldshuh�s first Broadway appearance since she starred in 'Golda�s Balcony' (Golda Meir: 2003 - Broadway�s longest-running one-woman show), for which she was nominated for her fourth Tony Award. Other Tony nominations include: 'Lend Me a Tenor' (Maria: 1989), 'Sarav�' (Flor: 1979) and 'Yentl' (Yentl: 1975).

The complete cast includes Sandi Carroll, Tracee Chimo, Steven Hauck, Scott Klavan, Peter Reznikoff, Thomas Ryan, Gene Silvers, John Stanisci and Maja Wampuszyc, all of whom are reprising their performances from the show's off-Broadway run in 2008.

Irena's Vow, which began its life at New York�s Invictus Theatre Company, recently ended a sold-out world-premiere engagement Off Broadway at the Baruch Performing Arts Center, produced by Power Productions / Stan Raiff in conjunction with The Directors Company and the Polish Cultural Institute.

The off-Broadway production opened to mostly favourable reviews: "A powerful, frequently surprising drama." (New York Post) A gripping Holocaust story... Driven by a fiercely-felt performance from Tovah Feldshuh in the title role." (Star-Ledger); "Feldshuh holds the audience captive from her first appearance, delivering a charismatic, courageous performance." (Back Stage).

The design team for Irena's Vow includes Kevin Judge (Scenic Design), David Castaneda (Lighting Design), Astrid Brucker (Costume Design) and Quentin Chiappetta (Sound Design/Composer.)

Irena's Vow will be produced on Broadway by Stan Raiff, Daryl Roth, Debra Black, James L. Nederlander and Terry Allan Kramer.
