The Lobby Hero star dishes on his newest role and what to expect from the upcoming production.

Second Stage Theater will inaugurate its new Broadway home, The Hayes, with a revival of Oscar winner Kenneth Lonergan's play Lobby Hero. Trip Cullman directs a cast made up of Captain America star Chris Evans, Atlanta's Brian Tyree Henry, Michael Cera, and Bel Powley.

In the video above, watch the cast and creative team talk about the play, their characters, and why Lobby Hero is just as relevant today as when it debuted nearly 20 years ago.

Lobby Hero will begin previews at The Hayes March 1 ahead of a March 26 opening.

The story follows four New Yorkers involved in a murder investigation in the lobby of a Manhattan apartment complex: a 27-year-old security guard, his stern boss, a young police officer, and her unpredictable partner.

Boston-born actor Chris Evans is gearing up for his Broadway debut in “Lobby Hero” next month, and we now know one thing: His character is no Captain America.

“Typically, I play guys who are little more taciturn and selfless — leaders. This guy is not that,” Evans told Playbill of his character, Bill.

“This guy — I think he still has a lot of temerity — but there’s an arrogance and he likes to bloviate and he’s very gauche,” he continued. “There’s something about him that’s rougher than what I typically get to play.”

“Lobby Hero” is focused on four New Yorkers trying to figure out a murder investigation in the lobby of a Manhattan apartment building: Jeff, a 27-year-old security guard; William, his harsh boss; Dawn, a rookie police officer; and Bill, her capricious partner who comes onto her pretty strong. Originally, the play premiered Off-Broadway at New York’s Playwrights Horizons in March 2001 and reopened at the city’s John Houseman Theatre, where it ran until its September 2001 close.

With its upcoming revival, Trip Cullman is at the helm of “Lobby Hero,” directing the motley crew of a cast. Taking the stage alongside the “Avengers” icon: “Atlanta” star Brian Tyree Henry, Michael Cera, aka George Michael on “Arrested Development,” and Bel Powley, most known for her role in the British thriller show “Informer.”

This time around, Second Stage Theater is putting on the play, which was written by Oscar winner Kenneth Lonergan in the ’90s, at its Helen Hayes Theatre. “Lobby Hero” will be the first production that performed at the newly renovated Little Theatre since it was sold in 2015 for almost $25 million.

“Lobby Hero” will kick off its previews Thursday, with its official opening on March 26. And with its premiere, we may be looking at the beginning of a new era for Evans.

“I think that theater is a thing I didn’t realize I needed,” Evans said. “So I’m hoping this is something I just keep coming back to.”
