Frost/Nixon

The national tour of Peter Morgan’s Frost/Nixon will launch in Des Moines, IA at the Des Moines Civic Center, September 30-October 5, 2008. As on Broadway and in London, where the show originated, the production will be directed by Michael Grandage.

Frost/Nixon, which garnered a 2007 Tony Award nomination for Best Play, takes audiences into the minds of Richard Nixon and David Frost and shows the determination, conviction and lengths that these two men, and their closest confidantes, went to as they took the stage in one of the most hard fought political interviews in history.

As previously announced, Stacy Keach will portray the role of former president Richard Nixon and Alan Cox will play David Frost. The cast will also include Meghan Andrews as Evonne Goolagong, Bob Ari as Bob Zelnick, Antony Hagopian as John Birt, Roxanna Hope as Caroline Cushing, Ted Koch as Jack Brennan, Stephen Rowe as Swifty Lazar, Brian Sgambati as Jim Reston and Noel Velez as Manolo Sanchez. Rounding out the ensemble are David Sitler, Peter Hilton and Tamara Lovatt-Smith.
