Kelli O’Hara, Brian d’Arcy James on Bringing ‘Days of Wine and Roses’ to Broadway: ‘There Deserves to Be More Things That Are Challenging’
Kelli O’Hara, Brian d’Arcy James discuss bringing 'Days of Wine and Roses,' a dark story about drinking, to Broadway.
As “ Days of Wine and Roses ” stars Kelli O’Hara and Brian d’Arcy James are leaving the theater they will invariably run into an audience member with a personal connection to the story they’ve just acted out. Like the 1962 Oscar-nominated movie and the 1958 teleplay that share its name, “Days of Wine and Roses” follows the marriage of brash public relations executive Joe Clay and his wife, Kirsten, a relationship that is fueled and later destroyed by their addiction to alcohol. It’s searing stuff — a story that doesn’t shy away from the wreckage that drinking can leave in its wake, from neglected children to ruined careers to severed family ties.
