Kelly McGillis and Rolf Saxon star in
Frankie and Johnny
International film stars Kelly McGillis
and Rolf Saxon star in this lavish new
production of Terrence McNally’s
classic love story, set in 1980s New
York.
Kelly McGillis is well known for box
office film smashes including
"Witness" with Harrison Ford (for
which she received a golden globe
nomination) "The Accused" with Jodie
Foster, and of course the biggest box
office film of 1986: "Top Gun" with
Tom Cruise. Rolf Saxon’s many films
include “Mission Impossible” and
“Entrapment”.
Hard-boiled waitress Frankie and
cock-sure chef Johnny find themselves
in bed together after a first date.
Johnny is certain he has found his soul
mate, but Frankie is far more cautious
and less inclined to jump to
conclusions. As the night unfolds, they
slowly begin to reveal themselves to
each other as they take tentative steps
towards the start of a possible
relationship in this funny and tender
romantic comedy.
Originally an Off-Broadway hit, the
production also spawned a film
version starring Al Pacino and
Michelle Pfeiffer.
Post-show talk after Thursday night's performance.
