Starting on June 21, 2010 British comedian and two-time Emmy award-winning actor Eddie Izzard will join the new cast of David Mamet’s Race on Broadway.  Joining Izzard will be Golden Globe and SAG award nominee, Dennis Haysbert who will be making his Broadway debut, Afton C. Williamson and original cast member Richard Thomas.  The cast will perform Race for an exclusive nine week limited engagement at the The Ethel Barrymore Theatre. 

The original and current cast for Race includes James Spader, David Alan Grier, Kerry Washington and Richard Thomas.  I was fortunate enough to see Race with this cast a while back and I thought that Grier gave a spectacular performance! 

Race has received huge buzz during it’s run for it’s thought provoking and provocative subject matter. For more information about Race click here.
