After plenty of shouting, bickering and (lovably?) trash-talking theater, Larry David has made it to opening night on the Great White Way! Fish in the Dark opens officially on March 5 at the Cort Theatre, with the hysterical playwright downstage center and directed by Anna D. Shapiro. To celebrate, Broadway.com resident artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson created this portrait of the cast in action.
The gang’s all there; in addition to the Seinfeld co-creator, who plays Normal Drexel, the sketch features Ben Shenkman as Arthur, Jayne Houdyshell as Gloria, Rita Wilson as Brenda, Rosie Perez as Fabiana, Lewis J. Stadlen as Stewie, Marylouise Burke as Rose, Kenneth Tigar as Harry, Molly Ranson as Natalie and Jonny Orsini as Greg.
Broadway.com wishes the cast of Fish in the Dark a happy opening. Seriously, as happy as one can be for the comedy about a family death.
About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home.
