The Shark Is Broken - Broadway Play inspired by Jaws

[kristenabelle]

Just saw The Shark Is Broken and it was brilliant. So so funny and poignant, and just seeing the set gave me all the feels. It’s a comedy about the filming of the movie - what happens when three actors are stuck together on a boat for what seems like an eternity. Plus Robert Shaw is played by his IRL son Ian, who also wrote the play.

If you love Jaws and if you’re able I highly, highly recommend treating yourself, coming to NYC, and seeing the show. It’s in previews now and opens in a week, but the run is limited IIRC.

How was I not aware of this? It stars Alex Brightman too??? Wow. This honestly sounds very clever. Holy crap, I may need to go back to NYC!

He was GREAT. They all were! IDK if there are any plans beyond the current run but it's worth seeing for sure

I've always thought that the making of JAWS should be a movie, but I'll take a play!

My mother-in-law caught it while my wife and I were seeing Grey House and she really enjoyed it!

I tried to see it but they just opened and took the next day off (sunday). Drat.
