The play follows Delia, who co-wrote You’ve Got Mail and the play Love, Loss and What I Wore with her sister, Nora Ephron, as she reconnects with a man from her past and “falls into her own romantic comedy,” as she battles cancer.
Marguiles, a star of The Morning Show and The Good Wife, has previously appeared on Broadway in the 2006 play Festen. Gallagher has ten Broadway credits, most recently starring in the 2015 revival of On the Twentieth Century, and is also known for his on-screen work, including on The O.C. and Grace and Frankie.
“I am grateful and thrilled to be working with these champions of theater – Susan Stroman and Daryl Roth,” Delia Ephron said. “Left on Tenth is about a perilous and wondrous time of my life. We invite you to join our team of warriors and become believers yourselves.”
“When Delia first spoke to me about her manuscript of Left on Tenth, I felt that her story would make a magnificent play,” Roth said. “It is heartfelt, deeply personal yet universal, and full of hope. But it is also a classic romantic comedy for a certain generation, showing us that we can all be blessed with a second chance at life and love.”
The production will also feature Peter Francis James (Funny Girl) and Kate MacCluggage (The 39 Steps).
