However, on 29 January a cast change was announced, with Joel
Leffert taking over the role
of Mark Rothko. "Leffert
was a last-minute
fill-in when New York actor Thom Christopher departed days before the
premiere because of “artistic differences.” "

"Black
Tie is a recent Off-Broadway hit comedy set in a Lake George Hotel on
the eve of a family wedding. Mr. Christopher plays the father of the
groom, who simply wants to make a memorable toast. But before he is
able to raise his glass, he must defend time-honored traditions of the
past, including his formal attire. Cultures and generations clash when
a surprise guest is announced, threatening to throw convention out the
window. Balancing the standards of his late father and the needs of his
future family may prove too messy for a black tie affair."
