Jackman, Craig Play Low-Down Chicago Blues in ‘Rain’: Review
Bloomberg.com: "It may be sensation enough that in the two-character police drama “A Steady Rain,” stage-and- screen stars England’s Daniel Craig and Australia’s Hugh Jackman have come to Broadway to play low-level Chicago cops. They even have the accent right. The rest is less impressive."

I like the concept of this show. You don't often get a lot of theater about blue collar individuals. Not much that highlights them as the focus of the piece. I don't know why the author said that it wasn't a very good piece, it sounds just fine to me, but I think that the show does have its challenges. Unless the scripts move a lot, it's hard to keep an audience entertained for 90 or so minutes with only two people onstage, and minimal set. Yes, there are definitely exceptions to that statement, but its difficult to do so. I hope that all goes well for the show, the cast sounds like a great duo. Good luck!
