Uptown Players continues its season with the regional premiere of another Terrence McNally recent Broadway smash, It’s Only A Play. It's the opening night of The Golden Egg on Broadway, and the wealthy producer is throwing a lavish party in her lavish Manhattan townhouse. Downstairs the celebrities are pouring in, but the real action is upstairs where a group of insiders have staked themselves out in the producer's bedroom, waiting for the reviews to come in. The good natured bonhomie with which the evening begins grows steadily bitchier—and funnier—as the reviews come in, and those assembled seek desperately to pin the blame on each other. But, as euphoria slides into despair, the narcissism, ambition, childishness and just plain irrationality that infuse the theatre and its denizens take over, and as the curtain falls plans are eagerly afoot for their next venture—this one sure to be the hit they have all been hoping for. The show stars B. J. Cleveland as James Wicker (recently played by Nathan Lane on Broadway).
