On Opening Night, Broadway's Royal Family Has a Ball

A stellar cast, a beloved play, an eager audience—with a combination like that, hopes were high on opening night of Manhattan Theatre Club's Broadway revival of The Royal Family. Luckily, everything came together for this delightful production, including the recovery of ensemble member Tony Roberts just in time for the October 8 first-night festivities. Broadway.com was on the scene at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, then spoke to the stars and director Doug Hughes as they arrived to celebrate at Planet Hollywood. Long live this Royal Family!
