Speed-the-Plow Broadway, original revival cast (2008)
Cast: Jeremy Piven (Bobby Gould), Raul Esparza (Charlie Fox), Elisabeth Moss (Karen)
For complete info, see the official Speed-the-Plow site.
I really enjoyed this David Mamet play. The cast is amazing and the story is very good. There were a couple of things my best friend and I thought either didn't come full circle as we thought they would or happened in a way that didn't make sense, but we enjoyed the show. It seemed that a character could make one small change in their actions to save a lot of trouble, but I can see why the character might not have been thinking perfectly clearly at the time and I still think the play works overall.
There weren't many musicals that interested us this season, but there are a lot of wonderful plays on Broadway. Check out Speed-the-Plow if you have time.
