Manhattan Strip Clubs: Jeff Daniels on Broadway – Desperate Housewives Julie Benz as LA Detective
Even as he takes to the stage again, Daniels is being represented elsewhere. At his beloved Purple Rose Theater in Michigan, they’re getting ready to mount four new American plays this coming season. And his big-screen “Paper Man” is opening in limited release May 1. With Ryan Reynolds, Emma Stone and Lisa Kudrow, the movie revolves around the unlikely friendship that sparks up between a teenage girl and a washed-up writer who has an imaginary superhero friend. “It’s one of those indies,” Jeff says. “I’m glad it got picked up for distribution. It’s a real good story.”
Now, with all the snow being dumped on New York, it would be nice if the weather relented a little for the play’s re-unveiling. Daniels is unfazed. According to him, “Broadway doesn’t care. Lights up at 8. Let’s go.”
