Sweet Talk with the Stars on Opening Night of Tracy Letts' Superior Donuts

We had doughnuts on our mind on opening night of Tracy Letts’ new play Superior Donuts, and so did the star-studded crowd of first-nighters! Outside the Music Box Theatre on October 1, we asked the arriving VIPs their opinion of everyone’s favorite sugary breakfast treat, then had a more substantive discussion about the play with Letts, director Tina Landau and star Michael McKean and his castmates at the after-party, held at Redeye Grill. Letts’ comedy about the unlikely friendship between a sixty-ish Chicago doughnut shop owner and his 21-year-old African American helper is one of the fall season’s most anticipated events. Check out our video coverage of the happy opening night scene.
