Kara Young makes any production a must see for me.  She most certainly is 'a name'.  I'd pay to watch her butter toast.

And name to who and in what sense? Aren't we talking about theater here? She's a historic 2 time Tony winner."

Theater famous is not enough to be a name. A name is someone who people recognize and want to spend over $100 to see. If talent= name value then Audra would be the biggest star in the world.

So odd I'm getting push back on something so obvious, that Kara Young is not a household name, but ok :)

To compare "names"...

Nicholas Braun is currently #2,535 on IMDBPro currently

Kara Young (who I love!)? She is #14,633

By today's standards she is not a name. Sorry. That's the objective truth.

And frankly, Nicholas Braun isn't a strong name either. I know him for Succession and his local antics down at the bars by NYU

Yea, kind of a creepy boozehound around those parts......

Kara Young should be a huge name in the world given her enormous talent, but she simply is not.

This play itself is fantastic though, regardless of the cast. And thank you Steve for the correction, my friend sent me to a third party website for tickets by mistake.

must be chilly down in hell because im once again compelled to agree with SuttonRoss-- its no dig to Kara Young to say she isnt a "name" that can pack a theater, no slight against her talent. Its just an obvious fact. Assuming every single theater person who knows her name bought a ticket, it would STILL not make her a "name" beyond the tiny bubble of these message boards.

now has anyone SEEN the show? Curious.
