IN THE SPOTLIGHT: THE UNDERSTUDY Opening Night
By: Walter McBride Nov. 08, 2009
Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) is proud to present the New York premiere of Theresa Rebeck's new comedy The Understudy, directed by Scott Ellis featuring Mark-Paul Gosselaar (TNT's "Raising the Bar") as "Jake", Justin Kirk (Showtime's "Weeds") as "Harry" and Tony® Award winner Julie White as "Roxanne".
The Understudy officially opened last night, Thursday, November 5, 2009 at the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre (111 West 46th Street).
BroadwayWorld.com's master photographer Walter McBride covered all the "The Understudy" filled action, in addition to his normal stellar photo coverage he has created a special "In The Spotlight" series of pictures. These portraits of "The Understudy" cast and creative team are "in the moment" and taken as the exciting official first night unfolded.
The design team includes Alexander Dodge (Sets), Tom Broecker (Costumes), Kenneth Posner (Lights), Obadiah Eaves (Original Music & Sound).
The most thankless job in theatre takes center stage in Theresa Rebeck's new look at the underbelly of the acting world. Through the course of a dress rehearsal, we glimpse all the genius, bitterness and ridiculousness that underscore a life in showbiz.
Tickets are available by calling Roundabout Ticket Services at (212)719-1300, online at www.roundabouttheatre.org or at the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre box office (111 West 46 Street). Ticket prices range from $70.00-$80.00.
