Paul Gross Comes To Broadway

The actor-writer-director-producer-singer, 52, best known on this side of the border for the 90s Mountie show Due South, and more recently, the ensemble comedy Sling snd Arrows, has arrived from the Great White North to the Great White Way for Noel Coward's "Private Lives". Acting opposite fellow Canadian Kim Cattrall. Gross was last on stage in 2000 at the Stratford Festival playing Hamlet.

The revival, directed by Brit Richard Eyre, first had a run in Toronto where Gross came down with bronchitis and blew out his voice. But the dashing actor is back in fine form, and you can catch him through February.

If you're lucky, you might run into him in his off hours while he's bunking with his daughter, who's a student at NYU. After the show's run, he's off to Afghanistan to direct a movie, Hyena Road.
