Broadway: Greg Kinnear Tapped to Replace Jeff Daniels in “To Kill a Mockingbird”

Share

Well.

Jeff Daniels returned to “To Kill a Mockingbird” on Broadway for a short run, but his time up and producers have named a replacement.

Oscar nominee (“As Good As It Gets”) Greg Kinnear will make his Broadway debut in “Mockingbird”  starting January 5th.

Daniels’ last performance will be January 2, 2o22.

I had been thinking recently, where is Greg Kinnear? The one time host of “Talk Soup” had his life changed when the late Sidney Pollack decided he could act and cast him a reboot of “Sabrina” with Harrison Ford and Julia Ormond. One of his hits was “Little Miss Sunshine.”

From there, Kinnear went on to a lot of successes on film. But lately he’s been MIA. So it’s good to have him back. And the exorbitant ticket prices for “Mockingbird” will likely drop to human levels, so that’s a plus, too!
