THE BEST MAN

Set in 1960 at the National Convention in Philadelphia, "The Best Man" is the story of two presidential candidates hoping to earn their party'a nomination: Secretary William Rusell (John Larroquette) and Senator Joseph Cantwell (Eric McCormack).  When Cantwell threatens to smear Russell's reputation with a rumor about his mental health, Russell faces a tough decision.  Will he unleash an equally devastating smear on Cantwell to win the presidential ticket, or keep his moral integrity intact even if it means losing the race ?

"The Best Man" is a gripping and humorous behind-the-scenes look at the race for the presidency.  Director Michael Wilson includes the audience in the action, decorating the Schoenfield Theatre with brightly colored banners and campaign posters.  The lush, rotating set gives audience members a voyeuristic look into the hotel rooms of both presidential candidates, with a cast of theatrical heavy hitters (James Earl Jones, Angela Lansbury, Candice Bergen, Jefferson Mays, Kerry Butler, Michael McKean) paying visits to the candidates to deliver powerful performances.  Gore Vidal wrote this juicy drama more than 50 years ago, but it retains a ripped-from-the-headlines quality for an election year revival. 

"The Best Man," is a play about power, ambition, political secrets, ruthlessness and the race for the presidency, Gore Vidal's "The Best Man"is set at the national convention where two candidates are vying for their party's nomination during the primary season.  It's an inside look at the dirt-digging, electioneering...and what could be more fun in a Presidential campaign season than these theatrical fireworks.
