Now she is returning to the stage. Where she pretty much started out too. In the Broadway Revival the front page. What a cast. She played mrs. Grant, the soon to be motherinlaw of hildy johnson played by mad mens John Slattery. What a cast. It is nathan lane, John Slattery are the headlines. You have 25 other actors. This is a classic from 1928. Which tom says is the greatest american comedy. I think he says that because not only is it brilliant construction, which you see as it barrels along. Its mayhem.

Which one is he, is that nathan . Thats nathan. What character does john play . The race horse reporter. The thing is, John Slattery and nathan lane are very different kinds of actors. One is charming and smooth and very naturalistic. And nathan is hugely theatrical and bombastic and just brilliant. Theyre together like yin and yang. They cast everybody in the show as a team player. And a lot of people are playing parts they wouldnt normally play just to be in this ensemble. Directed by jack obrien.
