Guess who’s coming to Broadway?
Ella Beatty is one of the four children of actors Warren Beatty and Annette Bening.
Beatty is joining the play “Appropriate” when it makes its transfer from the Helen Hayes Theater to the Belasco on March 25th. You know, her parents made their debuts in theater before becoming huge movie stars. A new generation has arrived!
Beatty is coming in to replace Elle Fanning, who made her Broadway debut in the show last December.
“Appropriate” stars Sarah Paulson, Corey Stoll, Michael Esper, Natalie Gold, Graham Campbell, Alyssa Emily Marvin, Lincoln Cohen, Everett Sobers.
Written by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins and directed by Lila Neugebauer, “Appropriate” has struck a nerve as a domestic family soap opera. Beatty will play the pivotal role of the young woman who arrives as Michael Esper’s girlfriend but turns out to be much, much more.
Ella is about the same age as Annette Bening when she first appeared on Broadway in “Coastal Disturbances.” And you can see how that worked out! Pretty, pretty, pretty good, as Larry Davis would say!
