Not About Anyone From CSI


Last night I caught a performance of the recently opened (and very gay) play, The Little Dog Laughed, on Broadway here in glitzy old New York. And it’s pretty darn great. Written by super-cool gay playwright Douglas Carter Beane, the play is a slashingly funny look at Hollywood, closeted actors, how deals are made, and all kinds of fabulously shady showbiz schmoozing. It’s sharp and witty, sexy and fun, and you’ll be laughing throughout. Really.

Here are the basics: Julie White (who you loved on Six Feet Under as the uber-bitchy funeral home magnate Mitzi Dalton Huntley) plays Diane, a Hollywood agent, whose client, Mitch (Tom Everett Scott), is a big, wrangly, handsome, and closeted gay up-and-coming movie star. Mitch gets involved with a hustler, Alex (Johnny Galecki—of Roseanne fame) which threatens to undermine his Hollywood image; meanwhile, Alex’s hipster gal-pal Ellen (Ari Graynor) has issues of her own. That’s just the beginning of the intrigue in this catty, clever and crisply drawn portrait of sex, ambition, love, falsehoods and the importance of a good Cobb Salad in tinseltown.

Thank you, Pookie
