MATTHEW BRODERICK and MARTIN SHORT lead an all-star cast, including F. MURRAY ABRAHAM, STOCKARD CHANNING, KATIE FINNERAN, MAULIK PANCHOLY and MICAH STOCK.
This hilarious ensemble comes together in a comedy written by four-time Tony® winner TERRENCE McNALLY and directed by three-time Tony winner JACK O’BRIEN—a celebration of theatre at its best…and theatre people behaving their not-so-best.
It’s opening night of Peter Austin’s (Matthew Broderick) new play as he anxiously awaits to see if his show is a hit. With his career on the line, he shares his big First Night with his best friend, a television star (Martin Short), his novice producer (Katie Finneran), his doped-up diva (Stockard Channing), his genius director (Maulik Pancholy), a lethal drama critic (F. Murray Abraham), and a fresh-off-the-bus coat check attendant (Micah Stock) on his first night in Manhattan.
It’s alternately raucous, ridiculous and tender—and proves that sometimes the biggest laughs happen offstage.
