DELRAY BEACH — The Delray Beach Playhouse kicks off its 64th Season with Muriel Resnik’s timeless Broadway comedy, “Any Wednesday.”
The show opens October 1 and runs through October 17. Tickets are $30 and can be reserved by calling The Delray Beach Playhouse Box Office at (561) 272-1281 ext. 4.
“Any Wednesday” tells the story of an influential Wall Street insider named John Cleves who for two years has successfully managed to use his company’s tax-deductible executive suite as a love-nest for himself and his attractive young mistress, Ellen.
Daniel Steinlauf plays John, the Wall Street titan and Charlotte Sherman portrays his long-suffering wife Dorothy in “Any Wednesday” opening October 1 at the Delray Beach Playhouse.
But John’s secret is almost exposed one day when his new secretary innocently gives a visiting client (Paul) a key to the suite. While Ellen is trying to explain her unusual domestic situation to Paul, John’s wife Dorothy also drops by.
When Dorothy discovers a young couple in the middle of an argument, she immediately assumes that they are married. To spare Dorothy’s feelings, Ellen and Paul form a mischievous alliance that soon spirals into a hilarious comedy of intrigue and romance.
Carole Woods stars as Ellen, a hopeless romantic who ties plastic flowers onto her terrace shrubbery. Daniel Steinlauf portrays John, the Wall Street titan who is so well-known he and Ellen can never appear in public. Bert De Roos plays Paul, the client whose unexpected visit threatens to expose John and Ellen’s affair. And Charlotte Sherman play’s John’s long-suffering wife, Dorothy.
New York Critics unanimously acclaimed “Any Wednesday” as one of the best Broadway comedies of the 1960’s. As one critic wrote at the time: “Its charm doesn’t falter. It is a happy comedy with the giddy bubble of champagne!”
