The good news is that the entire original cast of
The History Boys was in the wonderful film version of this Olivier and Tony Award-winning play by
Alan Bennett. The bad news is that I missed it on Broadway - damn you, limited-run British imports! I can take some consolation in the fact that in subsequent years, I have gotten to see several of these cast members perform live, including
Samuel Barnett (in
Twelfth Night),
Jamie Parker (in
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) and Tony-winner
James Corden (in
One Man, Two Guvnors). And I'm super stoked to finally see
Russell Tovey in the upcoming
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
But still, I love the story of
The History Boys so much, I can only imagine who amazing it was to watch it play out in front of me. And what a privilege it would have been to see the late
Richard Griffiths. An amazing talent. The whole company is amazing. That's why this is definitely one that got away.
