Producers said Tuesday that Rickman will play his final performance on April 1 and Goldblum starts an eight-week stint in Rickman’s old role on April 3.
In Theresa Rebeck’s play about the soul-torturing world of authors, four budding writers are taught about life by a crass, pugnacious novelist-turned-tutor.
Goldblum last appeared on Broadway in “The Pillowman” in 2005. He recently starred in two productions for London’s Old Vic: “Speed-the-Plow” in 2008 and “The Prisoner of Second Avenue” in 2010, both opposite Kevin Spacey.
