A Star Studded Evening at November
By Whitney Spaner
The stars came out last night to see November, David Mamet's new play, that opens tonight on Broadway. November follows a fictional American president (obviously based on you know who) trying desperately to get re-elected on the eve of the election, starring Nathan Lane as the Commander in Chief with Laurie Metcalf (remember her from Roseanne?) as his lesbian, Chinese-child-adopting speech writer and Dylan Baker as his sleezy lawyer.
Despite the fact that tonight is opening night proper, last night's performance was fairly star-studded. Nathan Lane pal Mel Brooks, was laughing out loud two seats down from me, and Don Rickles was chatting with Mel from the row behind us. David Schwimmer and his Caine Mutiny Court Marshal co-star Zelijko Ivanek were also in the house. David was looking very cute in a winter hat, Blackberry in hand. I love a Broadway-loving celebrity!
