JACK O’BRIEN, San Diego’s lion-hearted Artistic Director Emeritus of the Old Globe Theatre, recently appeared in a Youtube interview promoting his latest Broadway work, “Impressionism.” His discourse is classic Jack; a master director as much as he’s a producer, a publicist and kin to P.T. Barnum. The section where he tells us of seducing Joan Allen into taking the lead role is a keen example of his slightly devilish manipulation of actors.
Though “Impressionism” met with unanimously mixed reviews (Marsha Mason's work prevailed), stay tuned for his upcoming production of "Catch Me If You Can" (based on the film) and Weber’s sequel to “Phantom,” “Love Never Dies.” Impressions can be left behind; they only serve to fuel Jack’s next foray to the Rialto.
