Michael Shannon on Broadway
Michael Shannon in "Mistakes Were Made" at the Barrow Street Theatre.
Shannon, best known for his pop-eyed contributions to Revolutionary Road and Boardwalk Empire, has a voice like a coffee grinder packed with gravel and paving tar. His lantern jaw looks misaligned, as if it's jumped its tracks from too much teeth-grinding, and his eternal-ingenue hairstyle and retro-depressive wardrobe here suggest a Frankenstein mash-up of Aaron Sorkin and Garrison Keillor.
Um. I might have to splurge and go see this for the awesome, awesome lulz that are sure to be had.
