Tyne Daly will play the role of Nat, Becca�s mother.

John Gallagher Jr previously appeared in David Lindsay-Abaire�s Kimberly Akimbo both at MTC and at South Coast Repertory Theatre. He was nominated for a LA Drama Critics Circle Award for his performance in the show. John made his off-Broadway debut at the age of 15 in Current Events, at MTC.

Rabbit Hole will mark the Broadway debut of playwright David Lindsay-Abaire, who has been represented at MTC with productions of 'Fuddy Meers', 'Wonder of the World' and 'Kimberly Akimbo'.
