Bryan Cranston, All the Way, Neil Simon Theatre
What's here: "In the anteroom, I have things for people to look at when they visit: big longhorns on the wall, the Texas flag. And in the makeup area, I have a few pictures of Lyndon. I'll look over at him and catch his eye while I'm applying makeup. He seems to change his expression; sometimes he approves or disapproves. 'No? Too much eyebrow pencil? Okay, I'll take it down a bit.' "
Preparation: "I put on cuff links which were his, and Luci Baines Johnson gave me a tie tack of her dad's, which I wear in the show as well. I sip a Throat Coat tea throughout the show. Oh, and I slaughter a goat and drink its blood before I go on [laughs]. Actually, that would be very LBJ."
Bryan Cranston – The Breaking Bad star makes his broadway debut with his role of President Lyndon B Johnson during his first year in office In All the Way. The production highlights the difficulties the Johnson administration faced during the 1964 election and while trying to pass civil rights legislation.
