Bruce Willis is headed to Broadway!

The actor will make his Broadway debut in the upcoming adaptation of Stephen King’s novel Misery. Willis will play the housebound romance novelist “Paul Sheldon”. He will star alongside stage veteran Elizabeth Marvel, who will play the obsessed fan “Annie Wilkes”.

The play is written by two-time Academy Award winner William Goldman, who also wrote the screenplay for the film that starred Kathy Bates. Will Frears has signed on to direct the play and Raymond Wu is the producer.

Misery will be produced by Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures’ Mark Kaufman, and Castle Rock Entertainment’s Martin Shafer and Liz Glotzer.
