A Scot the Way of Broadway Goes

Now that Big Fish has made it to Broadway, it is only fitting that the star of the Tim Burton movie, Ewan McGregor (who has no involvement with the based-on Great White Way musical) should follow suit.

The Scot is gonna make his Broadway debut in 2014, in a new production of Tom Stoppard’s The Real Thing.

McGregor will play Henry, the unhappy-in-love playwright whose real-life romantic woes mirror the ones in his play about a marriage on the brink of collapse. That the production within the production stars his wife only adds another layer of complication to matters.

Previews for The Real Thing will begin on Oct. 2 – so plan ahead! – and the play will open its limited engagement on Oct. 30, running through Jan. 4, 2015.
