"Love Letters" is coming back to Broadway and it will feature a rotating cast of TV icons and film great. Alan Alda, Carol Burnett, Martin Sheen and Candice Bergen will trade in parts for Stacy Keach, Diana Rigg, Brian Dennehy and Anjelica Huston at the first Broadway revival of the play "Love Letters" by A.R. Gurney.

The revival of "Love Letters" will be directed by two-time Tony winner Gregory Mosher.

In a statement, producer Nelle Nugent said "Gurney's romantic, heart-breaking and somewhat autobiographical play has long been a favorite of mine. I am so excited to have the chance to bring this landmark play back to Broadway featuring some of the greatest actors of our time."

"Love Letters" opens on Sept. 13 with Brian Dennehy and Mia Farrow taking to the stage. One month later Brian Dennehy will be teamed with Carol Burnett. In November Alan Alda and Candice Bergen will take on role followed by Stacy Keach and Diana Rigg in December. Anjelica Huston and Martin Sheen will round out the rotating cast in January until it closes on Feb. 1.

"Love Letters" will run at the Nederlander Theatre. Earlier reports said "Love Letters" would be performed at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre. Director Mosher explained to Deadline that "The Nederlander had more weeks available and was available so we grabbed it."

The casting agents who threw this A-List of talent together was Telsey + Company's William Cantler and Andrew Femenella. Everyone working on Love Letters has won a Tony Award. The set will be designed by John Lee Beatty. Costumes will be sewn by Jane Greenwood. Peter Kaczorowski will work the lights.

"Love Letters" debuted on Broadway starring Colleen Dewhurst and Jason Robards in 1989. The play was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize

"Love Letters" is a two-person play where love letters between friends who grew up together compose notes to each other throughout their lifetimes. The synopsis reads "Two friends -- rebellious Melissa Gardner and straight-arrow Andrew Makepeace Ladd III -- have exchanged notes, cards and letters with each other for over 50 years. From second grade, through summer vacations, to college, and well into adulthood, they have spent a lifetime discussing their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, and victories and defeats. But long after the letters are done, the real question remains: Have they made the right choices or is the love of their life only a letter away?"

The play is being produced by Nelle Nugent, Barbara Broccoli, Fredrick Zollo, Olympus Theatricals, Kenneth Teaton and Colleen Camp.
