In It's Only A Play, 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 (
Nathan Lane), his fledgling producer (
Megan Mullally), his erratic leading lady (
Stockard Channing), his wunderkind director (
Rupert Grint), an infamous 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.
