Schitt’s Creek star to hit Broadway

TORONTO — Schitt’s Creek star Noah Reid is set to make his Broadway debut.

Producers say the Toronto actor and musician, who played Patrick on CBC’s Schitt’s Creek, has joined the cast of the Tracy Letts play The Minutes.

The Steppenwolf Theatre Company production, directed by Anna D. Shapiro, is set to begin performances at Studio 54 on March 19, 2022 and officially open April 7.

The political comedy that debuted in 2017 began previews at the Cort Theatre in New York in February 2020, but was halted by the pandemic.

Original Broadway company members returning to the production include Letts, who won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for drama for his play August: Osage County, and Jessie Mueller, winner of a 2014 Tony Award for her role in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. — CP
