Broadway: 4 Time Oscar Nominee Marsha Mason Assistant Directing Patti Lupone-Mia Farrow Play

Share

The Patti Lupone- Mia Farrow play coming to Broadway this month has some news.

Famed director Jack O’Brien, age 86, is getting a young, perky assistant director.

Marsha Mason, who’s only 82, will be helping O’Brien run the ship. Mason is a four time Oscar nominee with a long, stellar career on Broadway as an actress and a writer.

O’Brien has six Tony Awards, so he’s allowed to have an assistant at age 86! He’s one of the theater world’s living legends.

Performances begin August 29th. We can’t to watch these two legends — Lupone and Farrow — chew up the scenery.
