Ben McKenzie News

Written by Bess Wohl and directed by Leigh Silverman, Grand Horizons officially opens on Broadway tonight, January 23 at the Hayes Theater (240 W 44th Street).

Back in that age we call golden, Broadway marquees were frequently set ablaze by long-running plays that producers looking to turn a profit lovingly referred to as boulevard comedies. These were typically middlebrow laugh machines expertly crafted by the likes of Mary Chase, Neil Simon or Abe Burrows (Think HARVEY, THE ODD COUPLE or CACTUS FLOWER), involving contemporary everyday characters in realistic situations containing just enough sentiment to make you care about what happens next, while maybe even wrapping up with an uncontroversial, heartwarming message.

Tune in tonight at 5:45pm to watch LIVE as Broadway walks the red carpet at the Hayes Theatre!
