Joining Lithgow in reprising their roles from the West End are “You’re the Worst” star Aya Cash as American sales representative Jessie Stone, two-time Olivier winner Elliot Levey as British publisher Tom Maschler (his performance won him the Best Supporting Actor Olivier) and two-time Olivier nominee Rachael Stirling as Dahl’s wife Felicity Crosland. The trio will all be making their Broadway debuts in the production.
