About David Hyde Pierce

Emmy and Tony Award winner David Hyde Pierce can currently be seen on Broadway starring opposite Sigourney Weaver and Kristine Nielsen in Christopher Durang's new comedy, "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike." The show opened in March following sold out runs at Princeton's McCarter Theatre and at Lincoln Center.

Pierce made his professional and Broadway debut in 1982 in Durang's "Beyond Therapy" and went on to create roles in Off-Broadway productions of Mark O'Donnell's "That's it Folks!," Richard Greenberg's "The Author's Voice" and Jules Feiffer's "Elliot Loves" before returning to Broadway in "The Heidi Chronicles."

In 2005, Pierce originated the role of 'Sir Robin' in the Broadway production of "Monty Python's Spamalot," and was nominated for a Drama Desk Award. In 2007, he won the Tony Award and earned another Drama Desk Award nomination for his role in the musical comedy "Curtains."

Perhaps best known for his role on TV's iconic comedy, "Frasier," Pierce earned four Emmy Awards among many other accolades. His film credits include "Little Man Tate," "Sleepless in Seattle," "Nixon," "Down With Love," and the Sundance Film Festival Selection, "The Perfect Host."

About VANYA and SONIA and MASHA and SPIKE
Tony® and Academy Award® nominee Sigourney Weaver and Tony and Emmy® Award winner David Hyde Pierce star in VANYA and SONIA and MASHA and SPIKE, the irresistible new comedy by Christopher Durang that's coming to Broadway direct from sold-out, smash-hit engagements at McCarter Theatre Center and Lincoln Center Theater.

Vanya (Pierce) and his sister Sonia (Kristine Nielsen) live a quiet life in the Pennsylvania farmhouse where they grew up. But their sister Masha (Weaver) escaped many years ago and became a famous movie star! When Masha returns unannounced with her twenty-something boy toy, Spike (Billy Magnussen), so begins an unforgettable weekend of rivalry, regret and generally hilarious racket. By the end of their impromptu family reunion, this lovable bunch won't ever be the same!

Tony nominee Nicholas Martin directs an explosively funny cast in this laugh-out-loud new American comedy. It's Durang at his unpredictable, zany best!
