“He’s the name that should be on the lips of every Broadway fan”, a play producer said when exiting early rehearsals. “We were so lucky to get him for this part in what will surely be talked about as the finest performance on Broadway in the last fifty years.”

Kilgore who has been quietly plying his trade being cast in the lead of what some would say is the longest string of almost hits, and never-was plays in Broadway history is hoping to break the curse with this riveting performance.
