Time to brush up on your Russian. Doctor Zhivago, starring Tam Mutu in his much-anticipated Broadway debut and Kelli Barrett, opens officially on April 21. To celebrate the epic musical’s big night, Broadway.com resident artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson penned this sketch of the show’s leading players.

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.
