Broadway's Best Shows, a new home for entertaining, engaging content, long form features and exclusive access to Broadway's Best, continues tonight with A.R. Gurney's LOVE LETTERS starring Bryan Cranston and Sally Field, directed by Jerry Zaks. The one-night-only event will be livestreamed at 8PM EST/5PM PST and 11PM EST/8PM PST right here.
LOVE LETTERS is a funny and emotional portrait about the powerful connection of love. Andrew Makepeace Ladd III wrote his first letter to Melissa Gardner to tell her she looked like a lost princess. They were both seven years old. For the next fifty years, through personal triumphs and despair, through wars and marriages and children and careers, they poured out the secrets of their hearts to each other.
Executive Produced by Jeffrey Richards, LOVE LETTERS is produced by Broadway's Best Shows, Jim Glaub and Jacob Soroken Porter.
