Forest Whitaker to Make His Broadway Debut Tonight in Eugene O'Neill's Hughie

Oscar winner Forest Whitaker will make his official Broadway debut tonight when Michael Grandage's revival of Eugene O’Neill’s Hughie opens at the Booth Theatre. The two-hander also stars Tony winner Frank Wood.

Hughie is set in the lobby of a second-rate Manhattan hotel where small-time hustler Erie Smith (Whitaker) mourns the recent death of the old night clerk, Hughie, and regales the new clerk, Charlie Hughes (Wood), with tall tales from his glory days spent with his now-deceased pal.

For this production, Grandage has reunited the entire Tony-winning creative team behind his 2010 Broadway production of Red, including Christopher Oram (sets and costumes), Neil Austin (lighting), and Adam Cork (sound design). Darren Bagert, Michael Grandage Company, and the Shubert Organization serve as producers.
