Lobby Hero - 2018 Broadway History , Info & More
Hayes Theatre (Broadway)
240 West 44th St. New York, NY
In the play, what happens when emotions come in conflict with principles, and how do choices under pressure define who we really are? The lobby of a Manhattan apartment building is much more than a waiting area for four New Yorkers involved in a murder investigation. It’s a testing ground for what happens when personal and professional personas find themselves at odds. A young security guard with big ambitions clashes with his stern boss, an intense rookie cop and her unpredictable partner in a play from the 2017 Oscar-winning writer of Manchester by the Sea.

‘Lobby Hero’ review: Chris Evans and Michael Cera shine on Broadway
8 / 10
Chris Evans trades a Captain America shield for an NYPD badge in his Broadway debut in Kenneth Lonergan's drama 'Lobby Hero.' Evans's deft performance is one of the pluses of this fine-tuned show, which marks Second Stage's inaugural Broadway production at the renovated Hayes Theater.
'Lobby Hero': Theater Review
7 / 10
Let's get the obvious question out of the way up front: Does Chris Evans cut it in his leap from the superhero universe to the naturalistic comedy-drama of Kenneth Lonergan's Lobby Hero? Absolutely. Evans fully inhabits his character of a vain but well-liked New York City career cop on track to make detective, who is quite comfortable rationalizing to himself abuses of power large and small in a profession where gender inequality and toxic masculinity come with the badge. The actor best known as Captain America brings plenty of cocky swagger, his thumbs hooked into his utility belt like an Old West cowboy with a bushy mustache to match, but his assured performance never aims to be a star turn. Rather, it's an integral part of an evenly balanced, four-person ensemble piece.
