Thank you for noticing (and for such a nice, gentle reminder!), and how could I forget that! He actually gave an iconic performance in Take Me Out IMO. Miles ahead of Jesse Tyler Ferguson's work (again, IMO). It also sticks out for me because it was one of the first Tony-winning performances I had ever seen. At that time, I would typically see a show on tour or after ticket demand came down well into the run, by which time there was a replacement cast. I saw Take Me Out in the last couple of months of the run, when many of the actors had left but O'Hare was still in it. So that was one of the first "Ah, that's what all the fuss is about" performances I had ever seen live on stage.
O'Hare used to be a regular on the New York stage (8 Broadway appearances from 1995-2010 according to ibdb and many more in iobdb), but it doesn't look like he has been in a show in New York since the Public's Into the Woods in 2012. Has he done theater anywhere else since then? |
