The return engagement of Tiny Beautiful Things officially opened at The Public Theater October 2 with Nia Vardalos reprising her starring role.

Based on the book by Cheryl Strayed, the play is adapted for the stage by Vardalos and co-conceived by Marshall Heyman, Tony-winning director Thomas Kail, and Vardalos.

The encore run began performances September 18. Vardalos is joined for the return engagement by a cast made up of Teddy Cañez (A Streetcar Named Desire), Ceci Fernandez (Twelfth Night), DeLance Minefee (HONKY ), Hubert Point-Du Jour (Sojourners ), and Natalie Woolams-Torres (Julius Caesar).

Tiny Beautiful Things debuted at the Public Theater Off-Broadway in 2016 in a sold-out run starring Vardalos. The Oscar nominee plays Sugar, an online dating columnist who draws from her own life to help thousands of readers navigate life, love, grief, and forgiveness.
