Another Hit for Award-winning Actor/Playwright John Cariani
Tony nominated actor John Cariani, again getting rave reviews for his performance as Itzik, who invites stranded Egyptian musicians into his home on his beleaguered wife’s birthday in “The Band’s Visit.” The show is an early favorite to take home the Tony Award for best musical. Cariani, is also an acclaimed playwright, the author of “Almost Maine,” the most-produced play in North America. Turns out, that play was inspired, in part, by Cariani’s kid brother Jeff, who just happened to stop by our studios when his brother was being interviewed. So FOX’s Jane Metzler decided to ask both brothers a few questions… about everything from growing up in rural Presque Isle, Maine to watching a sibling take the Broadway stage in “The Band’s Visit.”
