Tiny Beautiful Things extends through to December 10
The off-Broadway non-profit Public Theater has announced that its current encore engagement of Tiny Beautiful Things has extended its limited engagement through to December 10, 2017. Previews began at the Public's Newman Theater on September 19, 2017, for a limited run initially planned through to November 12, 2017. An official opening is set for October 2.
Directed once again by Thomas Kail, Tiny Beautiful Things is a stage adaptation by "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" star and Oscar-nominated writer Nia Vardalos of the Cheryl Strayed novel.
Co-Conceived by Marshall Heyman, Thomas Kail & Nia Vardalos, the production originally played an extended limited engagement from November 15 through to December 31, 2016, at The Public's Shiva Theater.
Synopsis: "Thousands of people wrote letters asking for advice from an anonymous online columnist named Sugar, who drew from her own life experiences to answer in a candid, often brutally honest exchange. It was later revealed that Sugar was Cheryl Strayed. Nia Vardalos adapts the book, weaving together the real letters to explore the monstrous beauty, unfathomable dark and glimmering light which are at the heart of being human."
Joining Ms Vardalos (who reprises her role as "Sugar" - an Online Advice Columnist) on stage are Teddy Cañez, Ceci Fernandez, DeLance Minefee, Hubert Point-Du Jour and Natalie Woolams-Torres. Ms. Woolams-Torres also returns to the production, having appeared in the 2016 off-Broadway premiere at the Public Theater.
The creative team behind Tiny Beautiful Things features scenic design by Rachel Hauck, costume design by Jennifer Moeller, lighting design by Jeff Croiter, and sound design by Jill BC Du Boff.
