Maura Tierney and Courtney B. Vance Join the Cast of 'Lucky Guy' Maura Tierney and Courtney B. Vance will join Tom Hanks in the cast of "Lucky Guy," the Nora Ephron play coming to Broadway this spring, the show's producers announced on Monday. A bio-drama about the New York City newspaper columnist Mike McAlary (to be played by Mr. Hanks), "Lucky Guy" is set to begin previews at the Broadhurst Theater on March 1, with the opening night scheduled for April 1. George C. Wolfe, a Tony Award winner for "Angels in America" and "Bring in 'Da Noise, Bring in 'Da Funk," will direct. Ms. Tierney, an Emmy Award nominee for her role on "E.R.," is making her Broadway debut in the role of Mr. McAlary's wife, Alice, though she is no stranger to the stage. In 2010 she appeared in the Wooster Group's revival of "North Atlantic"; she has also starred in plays by Nicky Silver and Jon Robin Baitz. Mr. Vance, a two-time Tony Award nominee, will play the role of Mr. McAlary's editor at The Daily News of New York, Hap Hairston. Mr. Vance will return to Broadway for the first time since 1990, when he appeared in the original Broadway production of "Six Degrees of Separation." He made his Broadway debut in August Wilson's "Fences" in 1987. In addition to being Mr. Hanks's first time on Broadway, "Lucky Guy" will reunite him with Peter Scolari, who will play the columnist Michael Daly. Mr. Scolari and Mr. Hanks starred in the NBC sitcom "Bosom Buddies," which ran from 1980 to 1982. In it the actors played men who disguise themselves as women so they can live in an all-women's residence in New York.

Wolfe, not Woolfe.
