Cheers to The Real Thing, Starring Ewan McGregor, Maggie Gyllenhaal & Cynthia Nixon, Now Open on Broadway

Break out your record player, because the Great White Way revival of Tom Stoppard’s The Real Thing opens officially on October 30 at the American Airlines Theatre. To celebrate the big night for the Roundabout production, Broadway.com resident artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson created this portrait of the cast.

Pictured in the sketch (clockwise from top left) are Ewan McGregor as Henry, Maggie Gyllenhaal as Annie, Alex Breaux as Brodie, Ronan Raftery as Billy, Josh Hamilton as Max, Cynthia Nixon as Charlotte and Madeline Weinstein as Debbie.

Happy opening to the cast of The Real Thing! Tonight, we’re singing Smokey Robinson and eating Hawaiian dip (was that an ‘80s thing?) in your honor.



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.
