NEW YORK (Variety) - Patrick Marber's hotly anticipated ``Closer'' opened on Broadway
Thursday night, and searing performances from Natasha Richardson, Rupert Graves, Ciaran
Hinds and Anna Friel had the packed house at the Music Box on its feet for a solid
five-minute ovation at play's end. If they could see through the footlights, the four
actors must have been impressed at the faces looking up at them: Judi Dench, Harrison
Ford, Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, and Kate Moss.
