McKean to star in Superior Donuts

Published Saturday July 11th, 2009

NEW YORK - Tracy Letts' new play, Superior Donuts, has found its Broadway leading man -- Michael McKean.

Producer Jeffrey Richards says the actor will reprise the role of a doughnut shop owner he played in the show's world premiere last summer at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre. The production, directed by Tina Landau, will open Oct. 1 at the Music Box Theatre. Previews begin Sept. 16.

McKean was last seen on Broadway in the 2008 revival of Harold Pinter's The Homecoming. Among his films are Best in Show, A Mighty Wind and For Your Consideration.

Letts is the author of the Tony-winning August: Osage County.
