On Sunday night, Harold Pinter’s The Homecoming returned to Broadway 40 years after its Tony Award-winning Broadway debut. Leading the show’s cast is Golden Globe Award winner Ian McShane as the curmudgeonly father, Max.
Two-time Tony nominee Raul Esparza gives as good as he gets as Max’s middle son, Lenny.
British actor James Frain — here with wife Marta Cunningham — makes his Broadway debut as eldest son Teddy…
…while handsome Gareth Saxe returns to the Great White Way as Joey, the youngest member of the troubled clan.
Stage and screen veteran Michael McKean — here with his lovely wife, actress Annette O’Toole — gives a superb performance as Max’s good-hearted brother Sam.
Rounding out the cast is the aptly-named Eve Best, who plays Ruth, the woman who upsets the household’s fragile dynamic.
The warmly-dressed opening night crowd included such luminaries as Tony winner Cherry Jones, now on break from her role in the hit TV series 24 due to the Writer’s Guild of America strike…
…her companion, Sarah Paulson, who will star next month in the Roundabout’s revival of Beth Henley’s Crimes of the Heart…
…former Talk Radio co-stars Peter Hermann and Stephanie March…
…the popular Chris Noth, who will reprise his role as Mr. Big for the upcoming Sex and the City movie…
…another Golden Globe winner, former E.R. star Anthony Edwards…
…the fabulous Deanna Dunagan, earning raves for her portrayal of the acid-tongued Violet Weston in August: Osage County…
…the wonderful Barbara Walsh, who co-starred with Esparza in the Tony-winning revival of Stephen Sondheim’s Company, set to air in February on PBS…
…director/choreographer Kathleen Marshall, whose Broadway revival of Grease is still going strong…
…and funny lady Joan Rivers, who will debut her new play, The Joan Rivers Theater Project, at L.A.’s Geffen Playhouse in February.
