Newly released images give a first look at the Todd Haimes Theatre staging, with photography credited to Joan Marcus. Bill Irwin, a Tony winner, is both adapter and star, playing Argan, the hypochondriac at the center of Molière’s comedy; Brandon J. Dirden directs.
The cast also includes Brooks Ashmanskas as Dr. Diafoirus/Purgon, Dylan Baker as Beralde, Rachel Bloom as Toinette, Hiram Delgado as Bonnefoy/Thomas/Fleurant, Crystal A. Dickinson as Beline, Daniel Croix Henderson as Cleante, and Ava Lalezarzadeh as Angelique. Performances are underway, with opening night scheduled for October 22.
This revival could attract Broadway regulars, Molière enthusiasts, theater students, and fans of Bill Irwin or Rachel Bloom.

It may also contribute to the theater district’s seasonal activity and keep classic repertory work visible in mainstream entertainment coverage.
