“The Ferryman” is welcoming a new cast in February, led by Brian d’Arcy James, Holley Fain and Emily Bergl.

D’Arcy James, last seen on Broadway in “Hamilton,” will play Quinn Carney, with Fain, of “Harvey” on Broadway and television show “Grey’s Anatomy,” as Caitlin Carney and Emily Bergl (“Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” “A Touch of the Poet”) as Mary Carney. The Jez Butterworth play, directed by Sam Mendes, opened on Broadway on Oct. 21, 2018 at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre.

The new cast begins on Feb. 19.

Additional new cast members include Fred Applegate as Uncle Patrick Carney, Ralph Brown as Muldoon, Sean Delaney as Michael Carney, Jack DiFalco, recently seen in “Torch Song” as Shane Corcoran, Ethan Dubin as Oisin Carney, Shuler Hensley as Tom Kettle, Terence Keeley as Diarmaid Corcoran, Collin Kelly-Sordelet as James Joseph Carney, Ann McDonough as Aunt Patricia Carney, Julia Nightingale as Shena Carney and Graham Winton as Frank Macgennis.

The original cast of Carney daughters remain, as well as Charles Dale, Fionnula Flanagan, Michael Quinton McArthur, Glenn Spears and more.

Dale, Delaney, Keeley, and Speers are appearing with the permission of Actors’ Equity Association.

In total, the cast is made up of 35 performers: 17 main adults, 10 covers, four children, and four babies on rotation. Many members of the original cast came over with the production from London.

In November, “Ferryman” announced a 20-week extension through July 7, 2109.
