IZZARD AND HAYSBERT DISAPPOINT ON BROADWAY
EDDIE IZZARD and DENNIS HAYSBERT disappointed theatre-goers with a shaky start to their stint on Broadway - reportedly forgetting their lines and stumbling through their first performance of RACE.
The British comic has joined forces with the former 24 star to tackle t he lead roles in David Mamet’s play, with Izzard stepping into the role p reviously played by James Spader.
But the New York Post reports the actors failed to impress the audience when they took to the New York stage for their first performance on Mond ay night (21Jun10).
A source tells the publication, "(They) seemed unsteady and most forget ful of their lines. Doing any Mamet play is no easy task and the dialogue is unwieldy. It was their first performance, hopefully things will impro ve as they get into the roles."
