His companion might not have been a critic. I met up with him the day he went to see Next to Normal, and his companion that day was his sister.

Of course I want tickets but its bits like this that have me rolling my eyes at having to lay down cash...

All this unfolds in a series of recollections that might have been more credible by American character actors instead of a buff pair of superstars... But in that case, A Steady Rain would never have made it to Broadway.

NY Post is mixed with **1/2 out of ****:

"A Steady Rain" is a meat-and-potatoes play served on a sil ver platter.

In case you've lived under a broadband-free rock for the past few months, the show pairs up Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman. This isn't a completely gratuitous stunt: Both have stage experience -- Jackman even won a Tony for "The Boy From Oz."

Still, their mere presence ensured that "A Steady Rain" would sell out its limited Broadway run. Actually, it ensured that Keith Huff's mawkish, labored two-hander about Chicago cops would get a Broadway run to begin with.

...

Craig and Jackman were clearly eager to appear onstage together. Too bad they picked a clunky squad car for a vehicle."

Entertainment Weekly gives it a C+

"The British movie star famous as James Bond and the Aussie movie star famous as Wolverine are appearing on Broadway in the kind of slight, artificially structured American chamber piece that normally lives on a small Off-Broadway stage. And even after the shock passes, the dissonance distracts. Why are these international stars playing parochial characters inferior to any cop on TV?

Maybe they haven't watched The Wire. Maybe they think Huff's tricky, declamatory setup represents gritty American veracity. At any rate, the pair works hard."
