Four-Time Tony Award winning Terence McNally’s ‘It’s Only A Play‘ opens tonight at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre (236 West 45th Street). The playwright McNally recently celebrated the premiere of his 20th Broadway production, Mothers and Sons, which marks his 50th year on Broadway.
The play also has a Tony-award winning cast with Nathan Lane (The Producers, A Funny Thing Happened…), Matthew Broderick(Brighton Beach Memroirs, How to Succeed in Business…) , Stockard Channing(A Day in the Death of Joe Egg) and Academy Award winning F. Murray Abraham (Amadeus) , along with Harry-Potter alum, Rupert Grint and Emmy award winner Megan Mullally.
In Terence McNally’s comedy, it’s opening night of Peter Austin’s (Matthew Broderick) new play as he anxiously awaits to see if his show is a hit. With his career on the line, he shares his big First Night with his “best” friend, a television star (Nathan Lane), his novice producer (Megan Mullally), his doped-up diva (Stockard Channing), his genius director (Rupert Grint), a lethal drama critic (F. Murray Abraham), and a fresh-off-the-bus coat check attendant (Micah Stock) on his first night in Manhattan.
