Luke Macfarlane is Broadway bound!

Luke Macfarlane, who we have loved as Scotty on ABC’s Brothers & Sisters for the past five years, has joined the cast of The Normal Heart on Broadway.

Larry Kramer’s ground-breaking play begins its limited 12-week engagement on Tuesday, April 19 at the John Golden Theatre.

Others in the all-star cast include Patrick Breen, Ellen Barkin, John Benjamin Hickey, Joe Mantello, Lee Pace, and Jim Parsons.  Joel Grey will direct.  Official opening night is set for Wednesday, April 27.

Writes BroadwayWorld of the play: The Normal Heart unfolds like a real-life political thriller — as a tight-knit group of friends refuses to let doctors, politicians and the press bury the truth of an unspoken epidemic behind a wall of silence. First produced by Joseph Papp at New York’s Public Theater, the play was a critical sensation and a seminal moment in theater history. So ahead of its time was this play that many of the core issues it addresses – including gay marriage, the healthcare system and, of course, AIDS – are just as relevant today as they were when it first premiered.
