All the Way is a gripping new play about a pivotal moment in American history and stars three-time Emmy Award-winning actor Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad”) as President Lyndon B. Johnson. This drama will take audiences behind the doors of the Oval Office and inside the first years of President Johnson's presidency, and his fight to pass a landmark civil rights bill. Cranston as President Johnson will lead an ensemble cast playing roles such as Martin Luther King, Jr., J. Edgar Hoover, Hubert Humphrey, Richard Russell, Coretta Scott King, Lady Bird Johnson, Bob Moses and many more.
“Mr. Cranston cuts a vigorous, imposing figure as LBJ in Mr. Schenkkan’s sharply outlined portrait, employing a drawl as wide as a Rio Grande as the new president backstabs his way through the rough waters of a Washington.” -The New York Times
“Bryan Cranston not only lives up to the hype as LBJ, but ALL THE WAY is a sensational night of theater.” -npr
The show begins promptly at the advertised curtain time. Latecomers will be seated at the discretion of management.
It was amazing, no other words are necessary. Bryan Cranston is fantastic.
Probably the best play I have ever seen. Bryan was incredible!!
Mesmerizing story line, and close to authentic LBJ portrayal. I'm a 60+ year old native Texan, so lived through this period and remember him and the 1960s.) I love the fact that the play illustrates how hard political change can be, the wheeling and dealing required. History books never reveal that struggle. I liked the same point about 1776. The only thing that wasn't exactly right was that there was a certain amount of frivolity in the portrayal of LBJ that neither I nor my husband ever saw in him during his political life. He was brash, crude, aggressive, domineering, and a great president, but not silly, Of course, I never saw him in private, so maybe the director knows something I don't.
This was a phenomenal play! The acting was incredible, the story riveting. The entire cast was so talented, but of course Bryan Cranston *was* Lyndon B. Johnson. His mannerisms, his entire demeanor were brilliant. Despite the fact that this was a 3-hour show, it did not feel as such because I was hanging on to every word in every scene. So very well done on all levels.
Mr. Cranston is constantly proving his acting brilliance and this play is no exception! All of the actors were great and believable but Mr.Cranston drew me in with his passion and talent! I laughed and cried as I was deeply enthralled by his performance !! Superb, wonderful, entertaining, and unbelievably awesome doesn't describe it fully. My only regret is that I only saw it once! (He was also gracious with all of us undying fans after the show.)
All The Way was fantastic! The entire performance was perfect! We saw the final performance and Bryan Cranston individually thanked and introduced the entire cast, stage hands, and any producers and managers in the audience that afternoon. What a guy! If I had seen this play before the last day, I truly would have gone a second time!
Cranston is a god. The cast is terrific. Staging is genius. A once in a lifetime chance to see this amazing cast/script come together.
Bryan Cranston gave an outstanding performance as LBJ. The entire cast was wonderful. It was interesting and funny and emotional as well as very cleverly played...
Such a treat to see such amazing acting prowess! I feel blessed that I was able to catch one of the final performances.
I bought these tickets for my son and his friends. They said not only was the play fantastic, but afterward they were able to meet Mr. Cranston and take a picture with him. It was a great experience for them.
