New Yorkers braved the cold Sunday night to hit the theatre as The Roundabout Theatre Company presented the opening night of Hedda Gabler, a new interpretation of Henrik Ibsen’s chilling classic starring Mary-Louise Parker, Michael Cerveris, Peter Stormare, and Paul Sparks at The American Airlines Theatre. The play debuted to an A-list crowd of theatre go-ers including Liza Minnelli with Billy Stritch, Joan Rivers, Carolyn McCormick, Blythe Danner, and Lily Rabe, as Parker left Nancy Botwin at the door and tackled the impossible role that so many actresses before her have attempted to nail. The play runs through March 29th at The American Airlines Theatre in Times Square.
