Adam Driver Stars in Off-Broadway Revival

Adam Driver will star in the off-Broadway revival of Kenneth Lonergan's play 'Hold on to Me Darling' at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, with preview performances starting on September 24 and the official opening on October 16. The play follows Driver’s character, Strings McCrane, a country music star who returns to his Tennessee hometown after his mother's death, only to find that life is complicated even outside of fame. Directed by Neil Pepe, the production features a creative team including scenic designer Walt Spangler and lighting designer Tyler Micoleau. This limited 13-week engagement is expected to generate significant interest, with ticket prices already soaring before the official sale begins. The show originally premiered in 2016 with Timothy Olyphant in the lead role, receiving positive reviews for its exploration of celebrity and personal crisis. Additional casting details will be announced later, as the project garners excitement for its potential Broadway transfer.
