My pal Jim Brochu is in New York these days, racking up unanimous raves for his one-man off-Broadway production, Zero Hour. In it, Jim transforms himself miraculously into the late Zero Mostel and enables us to spend some time with this most fascinating of men. He discusses his career, being Jewish, being Tevye, being blacklisted…all sorts of topics.
The play is currently at the Gotham's Theater at St. Clement's, where it's in a limited engagement that must end on January 31. But if you don't get there by then, don't panic. It's just been announced it will reopen at the DR2 Theater there on February 24 for an open-ended run. We are happy for our friend Jim, even though this means we won't see much of him back here for a long time.
