Theater: “Zoo Story” at Signature
In Signature’s production of Edward Albee’s “Zoo Story,” Paul Sparks (“House of Cards”) is in beast mode. His turn as the storytelling vagrant holding court on Fifth Avenue will amuse, captivate, and scare the crap out of you at the same time.
Robert Sean Leonard is perfect as the milquetoast he meets on a Central Park bench, and Kate Finneran shows off her comic genius as the milquetoast’s wife in the companion one-act play “Homelife.”
Too bad Albee isn’t still alive. He might’ve cracked a smile at this production. Just a very small smile, of course. (Thursday)
