Lennie

Chris_Lennie

July 31st: "Lennie I hardly knew ya" His beard is gone, his hair will grow longer and Chris O'Dowd will take a well-earned rest in his own home, far from New York and the stage character he portrayed brilliantly ... the Lennie who will live in our hearts, the Lennie we will never forget.
July 26th: "Of Mice and Men" came to a thrilling end. 118 performances. 118 standing ovations before "Lennie" walked away from the Longacre Theatre for the last time.
