The stars come out for the Broadway opening of The Pillowman.

New York City

The Broadway production of Martin McDonagh’s The Pillowman opened at the Booth Theatre last night to rave notices. (Click here to read David Finkle’s review for TheaterMania.) The after-party was held at Osteria Stella, and that’s where TM photog Joseph Marzullo caught up with the brilliant actors who play the show’s four leading roles: Billy Crudup…

…Jeff Goldblum…

…Zeljko Ivanek…

…and Michael Stuhlbarg.

Seen here arriving at the theater for the performance is the extremely photogenic Martin McDonagh.

Buzz on The Pillowman was very strong, so it’s not surprising that a number of celebs from the worlds of theater, film, TV, etc. were on hand for the opening. Among those caught by Marzullo’s camera: Richard Kind (The Producers) and Claudia Shear (Dirty Blonde)…

…the one-and-only David Bowie…

…the beautiful Penny Fuller, last seen on stage in NYC in Beautiful Child…

…Raúl Esparza, now starring in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang….

…film and TV star Topher Grace…

…Julianne Moore, whose credits include such movies as Boogie Nights, The Hours, and Far From Heaven…

…supermodel Iman…

…Patrick Wilson (The Full Monty and Oklahoma! on stage, Angels in America and The Phantom of the Opera on film)….

…Denis O’Hare, a.k.a. Oscar in the soon-to-open Broadway revisal of Sweet Charity…

…and a couple of movie stars, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard.
