“There is a particular sense of joy and anticipation I feel when walking along the river to St. Ann’s Warehouse: you know when you enter the building that anything can happen—and then, it does,” Thomas said in a statement. “My first time in their audience was the initial run of Black Watch, which knocked me out. The Cherry Orchard they recently did was equally electrifying. It is an honor to have a chance to work with the extraordinary Michelle and Mike and this uncommonly talented creative team on Eugene O’Neill’s Anna Christie. To revive a play is to stand as part of a lineage, part of the glorious tradition of theatre, to offer up something that is connecting the past and the present. Doing this play about what it means to try and make a new life on the sea—and the shore—at the remarkable riverside St. Ann’s Warehouse feels like an ideal match.”

Mike is best known for his work in the movies Challengers and West Side Story, but he got his start on stage in shows like Dear Evan Hansen and Newsies.

Thomas, who won a Tony for directing Hamilton, previously worked with Michelle on the series Fosse/Verdon.

Tickets go on sale for the general public on June 24.
