Hitting the boards: Michelle Williams is hitting Broadway once again. On Sunday Deadline announced the 35-year-old Dawson's Creek vet will co-star with Jeff Daniels in the play Blackbird

In the pink: Williams, center, performs in the Roundabout Theater Company production of Cabaret at Studio 54 in New York in March 2014

David Harrower’s play is about an encounter between Ray, a male business executive, and Una, the woman he seduced 15 years earlier.

She was only 12 years old when they were together.

Una was originally played by Alison Pill, who is Daniels’ castmate on HBO’s The Newsroom.

Now the part will be played by Williams, who has been nominated for an Oscar three times.

Her co-star: Jeff Daniels will play Ray, a businessman who seduced Una when she was only 12; here he is seen at The Martian premiere in London on Thursday

Her love: The 35-year-old Michelle with Heath Ledger at the 2006 Oscars in Los Angeles March 2006

Michelle was last seen on Sunday with her daughter Matilda taking in Finding Neverland in the Big Apple.

The nine year old posed with her mother and the star of the production Matthew Morrison.

Matilda's father is the late Heath Ledger.

Matilda wore a large, dark brown ten gallon hat along with a turquoise bandanna tied around her neck and several bracelets on her wrist.

The youngster also wore a blue, purple and white tie-dye top with skinny black jeans and boots.

Michelle looked good in a black sweater with ripped indigo-wash jeans and strappy black leather sandals.

Matthew, 36, looked dapper in matching grey vest and trousers along with a crisp white dress shirt and patterned black and grey tie.

It has now been seven years since Matilda's father and Michelle's ex-fiancé Heath tragically passed away from an accidental prescription drug overdose in 2008

Heath and Michelle had broken up just months earlier after a three-year relationship.

The two met on set of Brokeback Mountain in 2004, which earned Michelle an Oscar-nomination, as screenwriter Diana Ossana told Out Magazine in July it was love at first site.

My how you've grown: Michelle out in New York with Matlida, then aged four, in October 2009 just over a year-and-a-half after the untimely passing of Heath

The 66-year-old American screenwriter said: ‘The first day we filmed that scene where Michelle’s character is on the toboggan and falls off the sled, and Ennis is with her—they’re laughing; well on the third take, Michelle fell off the sled, and at the bottom of the hill she was crying.

‘She’d twisted her knee, and we had to call someone to take her to the hospital. Heath was not about to let her go alone, and as he was getting into the vehicle with her he was smoothing her hair back.

‘I remember him looking at her, and she looking up at him with these wide eyes. She was almost startled by the attention he was giving her, but you could see it every day from thereon. For him it was truly love at first sight. He was so taken with her.'

It's a match: Heath and Michelle worked together on 2005 Oscar-nominated flick Brokeback Moutain as screenwriter Diana Ossana recently recalled: For him it was truly love at first sight. He was so taken with her'
