Interview: Ali MacGraw & Ryan O'Neal Say LOVE LETTERS is Filled with Emotions at the Fisher Theatre!

Love Letters starring Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal is coming to the Fisher Theatre in Detroit and promises to be an emotional show. "In one way or another, the show will move you," said O'Neal. "You will be touched and that's important thing."

MacGraw and O'Neal are back working together after becoming household names with the success of the movie Love Story. For them, they easily fell back into place working with one another to the point that they described it with a single word: "great," said MacGraw; and "perfect," said O'Neal." They also found working with one another to be automatic and picking up right where they left off after all this time. Even throughout the short phone interview, it is very apparent how much the two work well with each other and respect one another.

Love Letters is a play that spans fifty years of time that follows the story of two people with similar backgrounds who take very different paths in life. "Their friendship starts in second grade rather comfortably and they go through every type of experience through letters, but they just miss," explains MacGraw. "It's a beautifully written play that gives you every imaginable emotional trip. Anyone who thinks at all about the choices they have made; times they have said yes, when maybe they should have said no, and the result of those choices is going to find something in their life to compare it to. Sometimes it is incredibly funny and sometimes it is heartbreaking. And so from the point of the view of theatre, A.R. Gurney, who wrote it, has really delivered a full, emotional experience."

When asked why Detroit audiences should come see their show, MacGraw responded, "I have to say again, it is a beautifully written, rather stylized presented play that is deeply moving and I go to the theatre to be moved, so that is why I would go see it." "And I would say a little culture doesn't hurt," followed up O'Neal. "That's great," said MacGraw as the two of them started to laugh.

Love Letters opens April 12th and runs through April 17th at the Fisher Theatre in Detroit. For more information or tickets, visit www.BroadwayInDetroit.com.
