YOK Spotlight - A Broadway Bonanza, Pt. 2

Last week’s Broadway Bonanza spotlight issue highlighted some of the original works to hit the Great White Way recently, from Suffs to Patriots. But we’re not quite done covering the 18 new shows that debuted this spring season! This week, I wanted to focus on some of the celebrity power hitting the stage. Below are five questions on big-name actors and actresses taking their talents to Broadway:

1. What actor best known for playing an overbearing boss in a long-running NBC comedy is making his Broadway debut as the titular character in Uncle Vanya?

2. What British actor, who won an Academy Award for The Theory of Everything, takes a turn as the Emcee in the revival of Cabaret?

3. What The Notebook actress makes her return to theater in the revival of the play Mary Jane?

4. The revival of Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People stars what “Succession” actor in the lead role?

5. What actress, who has won two Oscars, three Emmys, and one Tony, plays a ferocious matriarch in Mother Play?
