Annaleigh Ashford, Matthew Broderick & More Unleash Canine Mayhem on Broadway; Sylvia Opens Officially

Tony winner Annaleigh Ashford is getting her poodle on in the Broadway premiere of A.R. Gurney’s Sylvia, which opens officially at the Cort Theatre on October 27. To celebrate the Daniel Sullivan-helmed production’s big night, Broadway.com resident artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson penned this sketch of the stellar cast in action.

The whole gang is there; in addition to Ashford as the titular pooch, the portrait features fellow Tony winners Matthew Broderick as Greg and Julie White as Kate, as well as Robert Sella as Tom.

Hey! Hey hey hey! HEY HEY HEY! (That’s dog-speak for “Broadway.com wishes the cast of Sylvia a happy opening night!”)



About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home.
