Terrence McNally’s legendary comedy 'Broadway, Broadway' infamously collapsed, encountered critical hostility, and closed during its out-of-town pre-Broadway tryout at Philadelphia’s Forrest Theatre in 1978. The brilliant, claustrophobic plot unfolds inside a luxurious Manhattan townhouse during an opening-night afterparty, tracking an eccentric collection of actors, producers, and writers as they await the review scores. Directed by Robert Drivas and starring stage royalty Geraldine Page and James Coco, McNally extensively rewrote this script decades later to create his massive Broadway smash hit *It's Only a Play*, establishing a legendary chapter in theatrical history.
