The cast will also include Glenn Fitzgerald, Holland Taylor and Marylouise Burke.

Taylor replaces the previously announced Mary Louise Wilson, who was forced to withdraw from the production due to the extension of her book tour for her new memoir.

David Hyde Pierce is directing the play, which was penned by Pulitzer Prize-winner David Lindsay-Abaire. Ripcord is to begin previews Sept. 29 at Manhattan Theatre Club at New York City Center -- Stage I. It is to officially open Oct. 20.
