Frank Langella Jokes with Martin Short About IT'S ONLY A PLAY Insult

Frank Langella isn't upset by the dig made at him in IT'S ONLY A PLAY. In fact, he now wants to see the show.

The Tony Award-winner recently spoke to new IT'S ONLY A PLAY cast member Martin Short about the reference to Langella himself in the script. He said to Short, "I hear your show makes fun of me."

Indeed, a character in the show, who is a director, says, "I won't work with animals, children or Frank Langella!"

Before Short came up with an answer, Langella said, "Well, I have to come see it now that you're in it."

We eagerly await Langella's post-show assessment.

Broadway's record-breaking, star-studded smash hit comedy It's Only a Play by 4-time Tony Award winner Terrence McNally, welcomed Martin Short, two-time Tony Award winner Katie Finneran and Screen Actors Guild Award-winning "30 Rock" alum Maulik Pancholy - in his Broadway debut - to the cast earlier this week! Below, check out full photo coverage of the new cast together onstage!

It's Only a Play will play at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre (where it has shattered house records) through January 18, 2015 before transferring to its sibling Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre (242 West 45th Street) starting January 23, 2015.

Mr. McNally-a four-time Tony Award winning playwright-recently celebrated the premiere of his 20th Broadway production, Mothers and Sons, which marks his 50th year on Broadway. Mothers and Sons, which was nominated for Best Play at the 2014 Tony Awards, ended its celebrated Broadway run June 22, 2014 at the Golden Theatre and will be seen in more than twenty countries next year.

The design team for It's Only A Play includes scenic design by Tony winner Scott Pask, costume design by Academy Award and Tony winner Ann Roth, lighting design by Philip Rosenberg, and sound design by Fitz Patton.
