Academy Award winner Julia Roberts will make her Broadway debut in ?Three Days of Rain? alongside two very familiar faces.

TV actors Paul Rudd and Bradley Cooper will co-star with Roberts in the revival of Richard Greenberg’s play.

Directed by Joe Mantello, the play begins preview performance March 28 at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre in New York and opens April 19. Its 12-week engagement wraps up on June 18.

Rudd is known to TV audiences as Lisa Kudrow’s love interest on the last two seasons of “Friends,” but he has extensive theatre credits, including Nicholas Hytner’s acclaimed Lincoln Center production of “Twelfth Night” and “The Last Night of Ballyhoo” by Alfred Uhry on Broadway.

He recently appeared on the big screen in ?The 40 Year Old Virgin? and ?Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.?

Cooper has had roles on such TV shows as “Alias,” “The Street” and “Jack and Bobby.” He currently stars in the Fox series “Kitchen Confidential.”

“Three Days of Rain,” which features three actors portraying multiple characters, was originally done by Manhattan Theatre Club in 1997. Two interlocking stories take place in different decades and focus on how parents can affect the lives of their children.
