I know it's a bit in the future, but I am excited to see Samuel D. Hunter make his Broadway debut, not to mention another Laurie Metcalf performance.

Did anyone see it at the Steppenwolf?

PS:  There is a whole other thread to discuss Rudin.

This was in my top 10 list of things I saw last year and I can’t wait to see it again.

I saw it at Steppenwolf and it is a wonderful play, that is kind of about bonding through television. I'm curious if they will expand the set, at Steppenwolf it was just a leather recliner sofa, with a very imposing wooding backdrop, that felt like you were at the bottom of a cliff. Also, as someone who goes to a ton of Chicago Theater, I love to see Chicago actors making their broadway debuts, both John Drea ( who was an excellent Chagall in "Chagall at School") and Meghan Gerchais (who is a Chicago staple) are equally wonderful in the show.

Very few actors can do what Metcalf is capable of, so I always make it a point to see her on stage. Very much looking forward to this!

Add me to the praises! Loved it in Chicago. As someone who loves production, I didn’t mind the minimal approach. The acting and the story really drew me in. Metcalf is a marvel.
