Byrne to join James Earl Jones in ‘You Can’t Take It With You’

James Earl Jones is getting some help with his revival of You Can’t Take It With You — Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Rose Byrne and Tony Award nominee Annaleigh Ashford have jumped aboard.
Byrne (Damages) and Ashford (Kinky Boots) will play sisters in the show, which also will star Kristine Nielsen and Mark Linn-Baker. Previews will begin in August at the Longacre Theatre, with an official opening set for September 28. Scott Ellis will direct.
