Photo Coverage: Jay Johnson: The Two and Only! Opens

The Two and Only! opened on Broadway Thursday, September 28 at the Helen Hayes Theatre (240 West 44th Street).  The new comedy, about finding your voice – and throwing it, began preview performances on Tuesday, September 19.  The afterparty was held at Junior's.

"In his 30-year career, Jay Johnson has converted generations of ventriloquist-avoiding Americans with his unique blend of charm, anarchy and innovative wit. In Jay Johnson: The Two and Only! he deconstructs and demonstrates his lifelong obsession, aided by a "cast" that includes 'Bob,' 'Amigo,' 'Darwin,' 'Long John La Feat,' 'Nethernore – the bird of Death,' 'Spaulding,' 'Arthur Drew,' 'Jackie and Ga Ga,' and 'Squeaky,'" state press notes. "Best known for playing the schizophrenic role of Chuck and Bob on the groundbreaking television comedy, "Soap," Jay Johnson is widely regarded as one of the world's great living ventriloquists."

Jay Johnson: The Two and Only! is directed and co-created by Murphy Cross and Paul Kreppel. Jay Johnson
