Tony Award winner Laura Benanti will join the cast of NBC’s Law & Order: SVU, according to TVGuide.com.
The actress will play the estranged wife of Detective Nick Amaro (played by Danny Pino), for at least one episode, with the potential for it to become a multi-episode arc.
Benanti won the Tony for Gypsy, and was Tony-nominated for Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. Additional Broadway credits include Into the Woods, Nine, Wonderful Town, and Swing! She was recently featured in the now canceled NBC series, The Playboy Club.
