Take Me Out, Broadway (2003)
Cast: Daniel Sunjata (Darren Lemming), Frederick Weller (Shane Mungitt), Denis O'Hare (Mason Marzac), original Broadway cast (except for Robert M. Jimenez) - to see complete information, see IMDb's Take Me Out page.
Denis O'Hare really blew us away. The rest of the cast was great, too, but Denis O'Hare stole every scene he was in. I definitely understand why he won the Tony award for best actor in a play for this role.
In spite of what I had heard, Take Me Out was less about someone coming out o the closet and more about the lives of everyone on the team and the way Darren dealt with everything in his life. I'm glad that it received the Tony award for best play this year! If you have a chance to see this show, I highly recommend it.
For mature audiences only due to nudity.
