Tony-nominated actor Alexander Gemignani takes over the role of Alfred P. Doolittle in Lincoln Center Theater’s current revival of My Fair Lady beginning April 30.
Gemignani succeeds six-time Tony nominee Danny Burstein, who joined the cast for a limited engagement in January and played his final performance April 28. (Burstein is set to star in Broadway’s upcoming Moulin Rouge!.)
He joins a cast of 37 headed by Laura Benanti, Harry Hadden-Paton, Rosemary Harris, Allan Corduner, Christian Dante White, Linda Mugleston, and Clarke Thorell.
Most recently seen Off-Broadway as the musical director of Fiasco Theatre’s Merrily We Roll Along at Roundabout, Gemignani returns to the Broadway stage having starred in last season’s Carousel as Enoch Snow, which earned him a Tony nomination. He has also previously appeared in Violet, Chicago, Les Misérables, Sweeney Todd, Assassins, The People in the Picture, and Sunday in the Park With George.
