Len Cariou (Sweeney Todd, A Little Night Music) will star in the title role of an upcoming Off-Broadway staging of Mitch Albom's Tuesdays With Morrie, set to play St. George's Episcopal Church March 1-23. Opening night will be March 7.

Joining Tony winner Cariou in the cast will be Chris Domig as Mitch. The production will also feature vocalist (and Playbill Search for a Star winner) Sally Shaw, with original music written and performed on piano by Domig.

Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher and Albom from the latter's book, Tuesdays With Morrie follows Albom as he reconnects with a former sociology professor after learning he's battling Lou Gehrig's disease.
