All-Star Cast of Gore Vidal's The Best Man Mines Humor in Political Strife
With a starry cast boasting James Earl Jones, Angela Lansbury, John
Larroquette, Eric McCormack, Candice Bergen, Kerry Butler and Michael
McKean, the Broadway revival of Gore Vidal's The Best Man promises

with a healthy dose of humor. Set during the Republican convention of the
1960s, Larroquette and McCormack play candidates dueling for the party
nomination. Directed by Michael Wilson (Dividing the Estate), the
show begins previews on April 1 at Broadway's Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre. For
