Last night marked the opening of the star-studded review of Edward Albee's A Delicate Balance with Glenn Close, John Lithgow, Lindsay Duncan, Bob Balaban, Clare Higgins, and Martha Plimpton. During the emotional opening night curtain call, the cast took the time to pay tribute to legendary director Mike Nichols, who passed away yesterday. The limited engagement of A Delicate Balance, directed by Pam MacKinnon runs through Sunday, February 22, 2015 at the Golden Theatre (252 West 45th Street).

In A Delicate Balance, Agnes (Glenn Close) and Tobias (John Lithgow), a long- married couple, must maintain their equilibrium as over the course of a weekend they welcome home their 36-year-old daughter (Martha Plimpton) after the collapse of her fourth marriage, and give shelter to their best friends (Bob Balaban and Clare Higgins), all the while tolerating Agnes' alcoholic sister Claire (Lindsay Duncan).
