The new musical will premiere later this spring.

Atlantic Theater Company will present the world premiere of the new musical Days of Wine and Roses, starring Tony Award nominee Brian d'Arcy James and Tony winner Kelli O'Hara. Performances run from May 5 to June 25 at the Linda Gross Theater off Broadway.

O'Hara is known for her award-winning leading role in The King and I, revived off Broadway in 2015. She has received an additional six nominations throughout her celebrated career, for shows including The Light in the Piazza, South Pacific, The Bridges of Madison County, and Kiss Me, Kate.

James just wrapped a run in the celebrated Broadway revival of Into the Woods as the Baker. He is also known for his Tony-nominated performances in Something Rotten!, Shrek, and Sweet Smell of Success, along with screen appearances in films like West Side Story and TV shows like Smash.
