Photo Coverage: On the Opening Night Red Carpet for Vineyard Theatre's BILLY & RAY
By: Walter McBride Oct. 22, 2014
"Mad Men" star Vincent Kartheiser and Broadway's Larry Pine (CASA VALENTINA) play Billy Wilder and Raymond Chandler, respectively, in BILLY & RAY, Mike Bencivenga's new play -- directed by the legendary director/writer/producer Garry Marshall. Earlier this week, the show celebrated its NY premiere and opening night at the Vineyard Theatre (108 E. 15 St.). Check out photos from the theatre arrivals below!
Completing the cast of BILLY & RAY are Sophie von Haselberg (THE CAT AND THE CANARY) as Wilder's long-suffering secretary, and Drew Gehling (JERSEY BOYS) as a beleaguered studio chief.
BILLY & RAY -- a whip-smart comedy charting the birth of the film noir genre -- follows literary odd couple writer-director Billy Wilder and novelist Raymond Chandler as they contentiously collaborate to adapt the novel Double Indemnity for the silver screen. Set in 1940s Hollywood, BILLY & RAY is the true story of how two brilliant and thorny artists battled the Hollywood censors and each other to create a groundbreaking movie classic.
The design team for BILLY & RAY features scenic design by Charlie Corcoran, lighting design by Russell Champa, costume design by Michael Krass and sound design by David Van Tieghem.
Mr. Marshall directs BILLY & RAY Off-Broadway, having directed the play's critically-acclaimed world premiere in the spring of 2013 at the Falcon Theatre, located in Burbank, California and founded by Mr. Marshall and his daughterKathleen Marshall LaGambina. Joseph Leo Bwarie will serve as assistant director with Mr. Marshall as he did on theFalcon Theatre production.
