From David Auburn and Daniel Sullivan, the Tony Award-winning creative team that brought audiences the drama Proof, comes the new drama The Columnist. A limited engagement of this show will run at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre with opening day marked for April 25, 2012, after three weeks of previews.
Two-time Tony Award winner John Lithgow will return once again to the Great White Way to portray real-life journalist Joseph Alsop in The Columnist. Last seen on stage in Mr. & Mrs. Fitch, Lithgow earned Tony Awards for his work in The Changing Room and the musical Sweet Smell of Success. Lithgow’s name transcends the theatre world, as the actor has been a constant fixture in television and film popular culture for the past forty years. He recently won a Golden Globe and an Emmy for his portrayal of a serial killer on the hit show Dexter.
With a star as big as Lithgow and a closing date of June 3, 2012, looming in the near future, The Columnist tickets are sure to be in high demand!
The Columnist tells the story of real-life journalist Joseph Alsop. Set in mid-century America at a time when columnists were considered to be kings, Alsop finds himself at the top of the heap. He’s an established writer who is both adored and feared by the political world that is the subject of his work. However, his position at the top is put in jeopardy at the start of the 1960s when Alsop finds himself personally involved in the political drama he’d normally be uncovering.
