Actors more than Stars.
I have to admit that I was drawn to “A Steady Rain†due to the fact that I like the films of Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig. When the play began, I watched the opening somewhat star struck. As the play progressed though, they ceased to be Hugh and Daniel to me and began to be Joey and Denny. They pulled me in as they say and I was riveted. These men are actors more than stars, and actors of the highest caliber. The writing is also excellent, first introducing the characters, then developing the story with a great mix of humor and drama.
Leaving the theater I felt the story in my chest. It’s something I’ll never forget.

They actually made me forget who they were
These men are completely believable in their
performances. I was quickly drawn in by their
characters and was actually able to forget the "stars"
that they are. As a Wisconsinite, I'm familiar with
Chicago accents and they nail it! I urge you to see this
show, it's the best money I spent in NYC. A powerful
play performed & produced with excellence! ... Read more

It's RAINING men!
There is only one thing better than seeing Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig, for the first time, in “A Steady Rainâ€----seeing them a second. This duo only improves their stage presence as they meld their performance delivery. Both actors give 150% each showing, before and after the play starts. They are uniquely generous with their time and it’s well appreciated. Never should a live performer have to deal with rude theater goers (bad enough that the audience has to), but Mr. Jackman and Mr. Craig have had to do just that. Cell phone interruptions and loud, unnecessary chatter annoyed me, but the gentlemen actors were far more gracious. They acknowledged the offense with warm humor and continued their lines flawlessly. Hope you’re able to make this limited run---the story is very moving even when hearing it over & over. Hats off to Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig! ... Read more
