Sneak Preview of The Shark is Broken on Broadway

[@johnhoblock5872]

Saw it this past Sunday, and all I can say is go see it if you can. Absolutely brilliant, funny and the cast has the same chemistry as the three actors from the film. Robert Shaw would be very proud of his son.

My second favorite movie, and I've always had an odd crush on Richard Dreyfus in it, and now why am I crushing on Alex Brightman AS Richard Dreyfus. 😂

[@maryannlockwood7806]

My husband & I saw this yesterday & we loved it!🦈

[@TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

Robert Shaw signed a Lobster Bouy for my Dad back in 1974. Still have it. We couldn't find the other cast members

[@mooville32]

That's so coooool!

[@skylar7740]

Ian Shaw is like a cross between his dad and Michael Palin.

[@skat1140]

EXACTLY. His appearance is perfect, but his accent feels, just, affected at times.

[@CountofBeretania]

This had me fooled; I actually thought they made a cringy musical out of Jaws. But I had to think about it: a play about the actual drama of making the movie…that’s brilliant!

[@tremorsfan]

That guy really sounds like Richard Dreyfus.

[@anitaspencer7526]

:) Totally! Fantastic.

[@creativitywithgrace7548]

That would be Alex brightman. The most talented person on the planet( in my opinion) he was beetlejuice in beetlejuice the musical on broadway.

[@tremorsfan]

@@creativitywithgrace7548 Quite a contrast in characters.

[@skat1140]

Except he's hamming it up _so_ much.. I was getting Geo Costanza vibes (and not in a good way).

[@johnmc3862]

Ish.

[@dustytheloneranger]

Between this cast and the guy playing Marty McFly's dad, I just don't know how they get such perfect lookalikes sometimes

[@PatrickMealeyVO]

God I wish I got to see this, it must've been a lot of fun! Also, random question, what's the background music playing, it slaps!

[@tatianalyulkin410]

I'm from Queens too and there are definitely sharks there. 🤣

[@jackcapellini113]

From what I can see in this clip, Alex Brightman was perfectly cast as Richard Dreyfus. He has nearly identical energy, charisma, and eccentricity!

[@jarmelo2006]

That's dope.

[@roquefortfiles]

I think "Dreyfuss" has had too many lox and bagels.

[@chaspfrank]

Shaw is a dead ringer for his father......but why do I see a hint of Eric Idle in his face???

[@StanSlaughter]

Eric was his mother

@@StanSlaughter You win!

[@CatastrophicBlend]

Not Eric Idle, but Michael Palin. 😂 I had to look REAL HARD because I thought it was Sir Galahad. 😂

[@kerriehonsa9696]

Is it coming to Australia

[@michaeldavies4871]

I can’t wait to see this

[@billy1673]

It was amazing enough that Robert Shaws son is a carbon copy of his old man, but the actor playing Dreyfus is uncanny! Close your eyes, and you can’t tell the difference!

[@FatFiber8096]

Alex brightman is an incredibly talented actor he was Dewey Finn in school of rock the musical and beetlejuice in beetlejuice the musical the musical the musical
