Eric Bogosian's revival of his own play Talk Radio brought many of his fellow Law & Order cast mates, along with a few other celebrities, to the theater. The play stars Liev Schrieber, Peter Hermann (Mariska Hargitay's husband) and Stephanie March. All three, along with the play itself, opened to rave reviews.
Among the celebrity guests at the premiere were Chris Noth, Vincent D'Onofrio, Kathryn Erbe, "SVU" star Chris Meloni, SVU cast members Tamara Tunie and Richard Belzer and so forth.Throw in Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis from Sex and the City, plus Bernadette Peters, Natalie Portman, Anna Paquin and some Broadway types --say, 700 of them into the Bar Americain's allotted space for 450--and you've got a party.
Liev Schreiber stars in Talk Radio and is phenomenal. Brantley says in today's Times that he's the finest theater actor of his generation. That's an understatement. Anyone who's seen Liev on stage as Hamlet, in Glengarry Glen Ross or in Betrayal could tell you that. But in Talk Radio, he really gets to do a star turn of a huge magnitude.
