Jesse Williams & Jesse Tyler Ferguson Celebrate Their Second Opening Night of 'Take Me Out' Amid Return to Broadway!

Take Me Out is back on Broadway with stars Jesse Williams and Jesse Tyler Ferguson reprising their roles!

The Tony-winning play returned with an opening night performance on Thursday (October 27) at the Schoenfeld Theatre in New York City.

Take Me Out won the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play and Best Featured Actor in a Play for Ferguson. The production is now back on Broadway for a 14-week return engagement. All actors other than Patrick J. Adams returned with the production and he was replaced by Bill Heck.

Celebs like Sara Bareilles, Camryn Manheim, Jessica Hecht and Tony winners Nathan Lane, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Danny Burstein, and Katie Finneran were in the audience for the performance.

Sara previously worked with producers Barry and Fran Weissler on her musical Waitress, so she was clearly there to support them!

In Take Me Out, playwright Richard Greenberg celebrates the personal and professional intricacies of America’s favorite pastime. When Darren Lemming (Williams), the star center fielder for the Empires, comes out of the closet, the reception off the field reveals a barrage of long-held unspoken prejudices dealing with sexuality and masculinity, money and power, and race and class. Facing some hostile teammates and fraught friendships, Darren is forced to contend with the challenges of being a gay person of color within the confines of a classic American institution. As the Empires struggle to rally toward a championship season, the players and their fans begin to question tradition, their loyalties, and the price of victory.

Jesse recently opened up about the show’s famous shower scene and joked about water temperature problems.

Ryan O'Connell Gets A Cute New Relationship in Season 2 Of 'Special'!

Ryan is clearly smitten with his new boyfriend, Tanner, in the brand new trailer for season two of Special.

Here’s the official summary for the upcoming season on Netflix: Ryan really needs to get his shit together. It’s been two months and he still hasn’t spoken to Karen since their fight and he has a gnarly case of writer’s block that’s getting him in hot water with Olivia.

Enter Tanner, a fun, flirty dance instructor who charms Ryan despite not being totally available. When his writer’s block eventually lifts, he’s inspired to write a longform piece about disability. From there, he begins a journey of self-discovery that creates unexpected complications in his relationship with Tanner.

This season is about our primary characters – Ryan, Karen and Kim – coming into their power and realizing they all deserve big gorgeous lives—whether society agrees or not, bitch!
