Nicole Scherzinger Prefers the Left Half of Her Face: ‘If You Want Greatness You’re Going to Have to Focus on This Side’
Theater's biggest stars from "Oh, Mary," "Sunset Boulevard," "Yellow Face,' "Our Town" and more joined Variety's Business of Broadway breakfast.
Parson, who portrays the Stage Manager in Kenny Leon’s reimagining of “Our Town,” was joined by cast members Zoey Deutch, Michelle Wilson, and Ephraim Sykes for a wide-ranging discussion about bringing Thornton Wilder’s oft-revived classic back to Broadway. The event featured conversations with “Sunset Boulevard” star and director Nicole Scherzinger and Jamie Lloyd, as well as Daniel Dae Kim and David Henry Hwang of “Yellow Face.” In addition to some of the performers and creators, a panel of top producers from “Gypsy,” “Job” and “Redwood” talked candidly about the challenges of attracting audiences at a time when Broadway has never faced more competition… or been more expensive. In order to get the cast to bond, Leon organized a field trip to the town that inspired the play’s bucolic community — he wanted them to see firsthand what Wilder was working with as he sought to shine a light on a rural way of life.
