A starry revival of the classic play, The Front Page, will be gracing Broadway’s stage soon.

Two-time Tony Award winner Nathan Lane will headline the production, and be joined by Mad Men star John Slattery, TV and film star John Goodman, Tony Award winner Jefferson Mays, two-time Tony nominee Sherie Renee Scott, and Tony winner Rosemary Harris. Jack O’Brien will direct.

The Front Page follows a Chicago tabloid newspaper’s reporters on the police beat, and has been revived on Broadway four times since its 1928 debut, most recently by Lincoln Center Theater in a 1986 mounting that starred John Lithgow as Walter Burns and Richard Thomas as Hildy Johnson.

Produced by Scott Rudin, The Front Page is expected to run September 20 through February 5, 2017, with a official opening set for October 20. No theater has been announced.
