The playwright (center) was surrounded by his talented cast: Halley Feiffer, Diksha Basu, Manu Narayan, Peter Scanavino, Jessica Capshaw, Daniel Eric Gold, Michael Esper, Kieran Culkin, and Gaby Hoffmann.
Also on hand for the opening were three of the stars of the show’s original 1994 production at Lincoln Center: Josh Hamilton, Martha Plimpton, and Zak Orth.
Many other celebrities came out for the festivities, including stage and screen favorite Parker Posey…

Among the celebs on hand for Johnson’s opening was two-time Tony Award winner Joel Grey, who will return to Broadway for one night only on November 14 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Chicago revival.
