  1. For the love of God, go to D.C. a year from now and see it played by Stacy Keach. I had the good fortune to be in the original production, and he is stunningly good. Really, you won’t regret it. Order your tickets now – before the show launches an international tour and becomes the stuff that legends are made of.
