DISCOVER YOUR REAL POTENTIAL
Ivry on the music business: ‘You have people with business sense, who treat their artists like potatoes. It’s terrible, and people go along with it. But I see a new generation of younger people who are beginning to play for themselves. That gives me hope.’

Denzel Washington will return to Broadway this spring in a revival of Eugene O’Neill’s “The Iceman Cometh.”
Mr. Washington will play the lead role of Theodore Hickman, a.k.a. Hickey, a charming traveling salesman, in this dark and poetic drama that unfolds in a Manhattan saloon. The play will be directed by George C. Wolfe and produced by Scott Rudin. Further casting has yet to be announced.

“I read the script by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch and I was just blown away by the writing, I responded immediately to the character. I became very singularly obsessed with getting a job on the show – and of course they didn’t think I was right for it, they didn’t want to see me at all: I had to audition many times.”
“I’ve never felt more like Ruth, the character, than while I was auditioning for this show. I think that is what inevitably won them over – it was my desperation just kept coming through, and my passion for the part. I feel like they purposely made me jump through a lot of hoops just to see if I was willing to and I would just be like: ‘Yeah whatever you want! I’ll come in again, I’ll do a weird rap, I’ll fly to Toronto to to audition with Betty Gilpin, I’ll read again with Betty Gilpin in Los Angeles, we’ll do a full fight scene for you guys!’”
