Emmy Award nominee Jim Belushi and Outer Critics Circle nominee Nina Arianda head the cast in Born Yesterday, Garson Kanin’s award-winning comedy about sex and politics.

A major Broadway revival of Garson Kanin’s crowd-pleasing 1946 comedy “Born Yesterday,” which originally ran for four years and made a star out of Judy Holliday, has been long overdue.

The obvious purpose of reviving "Born Yesterday" is to make Nina Arianda, Off-Broadway’s blazing new comet, into a great big Broadway star. A collateral benefit is to lure back Robert Sean Leonard, theater treasure, and introduce him to people who think they know everything about him from watching "House."
