You can tell I'm a bit behind here... Two weeks ago, I saw a non-musical (Andrew was proud of me) that has a Tony nomination for best play. Frost/Nixon is about David Frost's interview sessions with Nixon. The guy who played Nixon, Frang Lagella, was very good. I haven't seen much Nixon footage, but he seemed very convincing. Also, given that the play was about a set of interviews, it was very captivating. The use of the televisions in the set were really cool. It also helped see Lagella's detailed facial expressions from the mezzanine.
Kushal found information online that says that the events were contrived for theatrical effect. Though that's somewhat disappointing, I didn't go for a history lesson, so I'll get over it.
