Live Capture of Noël Coward’s “Fallen Angels” to Premiere in Cinemas Worldwide

The Roundabout Theatre Company’s revival of Noël Coward’s 1925 comedy “Fallen Angels,” directed by Scott Ellis, began previews on March 27 and opened on April 19. The production earned five Tony Award nominations, including Best Play Revival, and won the Tony for Jeff Mahshie’s costume design. In addition to leads Rose Byrne and Kelli O’Hara, the cast features Tracee Chimo, Mark Consuelos (making his Broadway debut), Christopher Fitzgerald and Aasif Mandvi. The performance was filmed live at the Roundabout’s Todd Haimes Theatre on Broadway for a theatrical release by Trafalgar Releasing in partnership with BroadwayHD.

By translating a Tony-nominated Broadway revival into a cinema event, the collaboration aims to broaden access to high-profile theatrical works, offering audiences outside New York a chance to experience a celebrated production without traveling to the stage. This model follows the successful live-capture release of “Hadestown,” suggesting a growing market for theatrical events presented on the big screen.
