NEW YORK (AP) β Jeff Daniels is going to get another bite of “Blackbird” β this time on Broadway.
Nine years after he starred in the play off-Broadway, the “Dumb & Dumber” star will get another crack early next year opposite Michelle Williams. Joe Mantello, who directed Daniels in it in 2007, is also returning.
David Harrower’s creepy play centers on an older man, a much younger woman and what happens when they meet 15 years after their brief relationship has ended.
Previews begin Feb. 5 at the Belasco Theatre.
Daniels was last on Broadway in “God of Carnage” and his other play credits include “Redwood Curtain,” ”The Golden Age” and “Fifth of July.” Williams, a three-time Oscar-nominee, was last on Broadway last season in “Cabaret.”
