Time to Check In! Hughie, Starring Oscar Winner Forest Whitaker, Opens on Broadway

Ready to take a 65-minute trip to 1920s Times Square with an Oscar winner and a Tony winner? Eugene O’Neill’s Hughie, starring Forest Whitaker in his Broadway debut, opens officially at the Booth Theatre on February 25. Michael Grandage directs the new revival.

To commemorate the production’s big night, Broadway.com resident artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson penned this sketch of the cast. In addition to Whitaker as Erie Smith, the portrait features Tony winner Frank Wood as the Night Clerk.

Broadway.com wishes a happy opening to the cast of Hughie. We hope you enjoy your stay!



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.
