Cast of MARCEL ON THE TRAIN At Classic Stage Company Announced, Ethan Slater Stars
It's almost time to get on the train. Classic Stage Company’s world premiere production of Marcel on the Train, written by Tony Award nominee Ethan Slater and Theatrely31’s Marshall Pailet, will star Slater in the titular role of Marcel Marceau. Joining Slater are Julie Benko, Maddie Corman, Max Gordon Moore, Aaron Serotsky, and Alex Wyse. Additional casting will be announced at a later date.
History remembers Marcel Marceau as the world’s greatest mime. But before the spotlight, he was a young man in Nazi-occupied France, guiding Jewish children to safety with nothing but courage and imagination. In the shadows of World War II, Marcel on the Train reveals the man behind the invisible mask.
The creative team for Marcel on the Train includes set designer Scott Davis, costume designer Sarah Laux, lighting designer Brandon Stirling Baker, sound designer Jill BC DuBoff, and casting director Geoff Josselson. Marcel on the Train is presented by special arrangement with Mix and Match Productions (Maxwell Beer and Mitch Marois).
Marcel on the Train will run from Feb. 5 to March 15, 2026 at CSC’s Lynn F. Angelson Theater on East 13th Street in New York City. Opening night is set for Feb. 22. Individual tickets for Marcel on the Train will go on sale in November. For more information, visit here.
