An Affair to Remember at Brief Encounter's Opening Night

It was an exhilarating opening night for British import Brief Encounter, and Broadway stars turned out to watch the star-crossed love story told through theater, music, film, dance, projections and even puppets. Once the curtain fell, the cast stayed in character as the show’s music hall-style band and treated the audience to some decidedly un-Noel Coward-like numbers. Sister Sledge, anyone? They are family, indeed—once the band wrapped, the tight-knit cast couldn’t wait to heap praise on one another to our camera. Click on to watch the celebration at Studio 54!
