Lucy Liu is to make her Broadway debut

The 41-year-old actress will join fellow actors Dylan Baker, Janet McTeer and Jeff Daniels when the current cast are replaced.

The ‘Charlie’s Angels’ star will take to the stage in ‘God of Carnage’ – a Tony award-winning comedy about the clash between two liberal, middle-class couples whose children get into a fight.

The 41-year-old actress will join fellow actors Dylan Baker, Janet McTeer and Jeff Daniels when the current cast are replaced at the end of next month.

The play's current cast - Jimmy Smits, Annie Potts, Christine Lahti and Ken Stott – will perform together for the last time on February 28.

Lucy is the latest in a long line of TV and film stars to tread the boards in New York’s famous theatre district.

Scarlett Johansson recently received rave reviews for her debut Broadway performance in Arthur Miller’s tragedy, ‘A View from The Bridge’.

Recalling some of the “dim” performances from screen stars such as Julia Roberts, Katie Holmes and Catherine Zeta-Jones, The New York Times newspaper reported: “Ms Johansson melts into her character so thoroughly that her nimbus of celebrity disappears.”
