Emmy-winning actress Christine Baranski will make her West End debut starring opposite Richard E Grant in a new production of Noel Coward's comedy Hay Fever. The 71-year-old American actress called the opportunity a 'dream come true.'
Baranski has never performed in London's West End despite her extensive Broadway career and Hollywood success. She's best known for her Emmy-winning role as Maryann Thorpe in Cybill and as Diane Lockhart in The Good Wife and The Good Fight.
The actress has appeared in major films including Mamma Mia!, Chicago, and Into the Woods. Her theater credits include multiple Broadway shows, but this will be her first time performing in London's famous theater district.
Hay Fever is a 1925 comedy by British playwright Noel Coward about a bohemian family and their chaotic weekend guests. The production will pair Baranski with British actor Richard E Grant, known for films like Withnail and I and Can You Ever Forgive Me?
This marks a major theater milestone for Baranski, who's known to millions from The Good Wife, Mamma Mia!, and Chicago. Her West End debut brings together two beloved actors in a classic British comedy for London audiences.
Production details including theater venue and opening dates have not been announced.
