The Eyes Have It! First Look at John Lithgow in Costume for The Columnist

John Lithgow is headed back to Broadway to play the title role in Manhattan Theatre Club’s world premiere production of David Auburn’s The Columnist. We've got a sneak peek at the two-time Tony Award winner in costume as the play's title character Joseph Aslop, a beloved, feared and courted political columnist in mid-century Washington. Shot by Andrew Eccles, Lithgow looks stunningly suave in his sleek suit and spectacles, which should come as no surprise: He has already played columnists in a Tony-winning performance in Sweet Smell of Success and off-Broadway in Mr. and Mrs. Fitch. Take a look at this very hot shot, then make plans to see Lithgow at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, where The Columnist begins previews on April 4.
