This morning, Cannavale sat down with the CW’s Emily Frances and talked about making his Broadway debut in MAURITIUS, his obsession with legendary musician Bob Dylan, and his son’s show business aspirations.

MAURITIUS also stars Academy Award winner F. Murray Abraham, Tony Award nominee Dylan Baker, Tony Award winner Katie Finneran, and Tony Award nominee Alison Pill. Tony Award winner Doug Hughes directs.

The creative team for MAURITIUS includes: John Lee Beatty (Scenic Design), Catherine Zuber (Costume Design), Paul Gallo (Lighting Design), David Van Tieghem (Original Music and Sound Design), Rick Sordelet (Fight Director), and David Caparelliotis (Casting).

MAURITIUS is a co-production with the Huntington Theatre Company which this past spring received the Elliot Norton Award for Outstanding Production for the world premiere production of the play.

MAURITIUS is a gripping new play from the acclaimed author of such hits as The Scene, Bad Dates and Omnium Gatherum, for which Rebeck and her co-author were finalists for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Jackie (Pill) and Mary (Finneran) are half-sisters whose mother's death leaves them in possession of a rare stamp collection. But which sister actually owns the stamps? Which of three men (Abraham, Baker, and Cannavale) can be trusted with their sale? Tightly woven and ever-surprising, this sinister comedy marks Theresa Rebeck's Broadway debut.

Special funding for this production was provided by The Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation.

Special thanks to The Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust for supporting new American plays at Manhattan Theatre Club.
