Elisabeth Moss is announced to make her return to Broadway in February next year as "Mad Men" where she plays Peggy Olson is coming to an end next spring. She is set to headline the upcoming revival of Wendy Wasserstein's "The Heidi Chronicles".
The play will focus on the changing role of women from motherhood to marriage to career as it follows Heidi Holland who looks back on her life from high school through her career as an art historian. Jason Biggs, Bryce Pinkham, and Tracee Chimo are among the cast.
Moss made her debut on the Great White Way in 2008 with David Mamet's "Speed-the-Plow" which also starred Jeremy Piven. In "The Heidi Chronicles", she will assume the role of Heidi who was played by Joan Allen in the original production back in 1989.
Wasserstein became the first female playwright to receive the Tony Award, and the stage show won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Tony winner Pam MacKinnon will direct the revamped version which marks the first revival of the play. No Broadway theater has been announced for it.
