Directed by Neil Pepe, this limited, 13-week engagement will begin preview performances on Tuesday, September 24, ahead of an official opening night on Wednesday, October 16, downtown at the historic Lucille Lortel Theatre. Joining Driver as Strings McCrane are Heather Burns as Nancy, Adelaide Clemens as Essie, Keith Nobbs as Jimmy, CJ Wilson as Duke, and Frank Wood as Mitch.

On learning of his mother's death, country music icon Strings McCrane (Driver) finds himself in an existential tailspin. The only way out, he decides, is to abandon superstardom in favor of the simple life, so he moves back to his hometown in Tennessee. The simple life turns out to be anything but simple in this brilliantly observed tragicomedy, as the consequences of Strings's success and mind-bending effects of his fame prove all but impossible to outrun. The creative team for Hold on to Me Darling will include Walt Spangler (scenic design), Suttirat Larlarb and Lizzie Donelan (co-costume design), Tyler Micoleau (lighting design), and David Van Tiegham (sound design). Casting is by The Telsey Office - Will Cantler CSA and Karyn Casl CSA, with Wagner Johnson Productions serving as General Manager. The Lucille Lortel Theatre has been in continuous operation as New York's premiere Off-Broadway Playhouse since 1955. The Lortel has been home to multiple landmark productions, including Brecht/Weill's The Threepenny Opera, starring Lotte Lenya; Sam Shepard's Pulitzer Prize winning Buried Child; Caryl Churchill's Cloud 9; Michael Cristofer's The Lady and the Clarinet starring Stockard Channing; Robert Harling's Steel Magnolias; William Finn's Falsettoland; Terrence McNally's Lips Together, Teeth Apart; Larry Kramer's The Destiny of Me, and Neil LaBute's Fat Pig and Some Girl(s). In 2023, Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbott broke Lortel box office records with their sold-out production of John Patrick Shanley's Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, and on the heels of the subsequent sold out engagements of Rachel Bloom: Death, Let Me Do My Show and Cole Escola's Oh, Mary!, Adam Driver makes his triumphant return to the New York stage in Kenneth Lonergan's modern classic, Hold on to Me Darling. # # # # holdontomedarling.com Instagram.com/holdontomedarling |
