MCC Theater announces MISCAST22 honouring Christine Baranski

MCC Theater have announced that Miscast22 will take place in-person, returning to the Hammerstein Ballroom on 4 April, honouring Emmy and Tony Award® winner Christine Baranski, MCC Board Chair Susan Raanan, and MCC Youth Company Alum Alexander Lambie.

Miscast is one of the most anticipated and exciting theatre events in New York each year. This spring, the biggest stars of stage and screen will take to the stage at Hammerstein Ballroom, performing songs from roles in which they would not traditionally be cast.

Miscast22 will feature performances by Emmy Award winner Uzo Aduba (“In Treatment,” Clyde’s), Tony Award® nominee Raúl Esparza (MCC’s Seared and “Law and Order: SVU”), Tony Award® nominee Joshua Henry (MCC’s The Wrong Man, Tick, Tick... Boom!), Tony Award® winner Anika Noni Rose (The Princess and the Frog, A Raisin in the Sun), Tony Award® nominee Jennifer Simard (Company, Hello, Dolly!), Skye Dakota Turner (Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, Respect), and Tony Award® winner Aaron Tveit (Moulin Rouge, “Schmigadoon”), with musical direction by Will Van Dyke. Further performers will be announced at a later date.

MCC Theater plans to film Miscast22 for a virtual special event coming later this Spring.

Co-Artistic Director Bernie Telsey said: “We are excited to celebrate another milestone in our return to live theater with a lineup of spectacular artists for another great Miscast at the Hammerstein Ballroom. We're also delighted to honor Christine Baranski, Susan Raanan, and Alexander Lambie at Miscast22.

“Christine embodies the artistic spirit we find so thrilling at MCC: incredible range and a commitment to taking big creative risks, which she does so beautifully on film, in television, and on stage.”

Show-Only priority booking opens on 22 February for MCC patrons and 24 February for MCC subscribers and members. Public show-only on-sale will begin on 25 February. All tickets are available to purchase here.
