The Iceman Cometh In 1998, Kevin began his return to the stage with Eugene O'Neill's "The Iceman Cometh". As Theodore Hickman (Hickey), he mesmerized audiences with his intense emotion and stamina, not to mention his incomparable acting ability.
For those of us who were lucky enough to witness this phenomenon, it will forever remain in our minds as one of, if not THE best entertainment opportunities of our lives. I, for one, had never seen a Broadway Show so it was that much more incredible for me. Although Kevin was the main reason many of us witnessed this play, we came away with an appreciation for the stage like never before. The entire cast of TIC was beyond easy description. In all, it was a completely rewarding experience! |

On April 2, 1998, it opened at London's Almeida Theatre. By April 3, the entire engagement had sold out. On March 29, 1999, it came to Broadway and ran until July 17, 1999.
Nominated for 5 Tony Awards, including Best Actor, winner of the Drama Desk Award and 3 Outer Critics Circle Awards, TIC set new boxoffice records. It's the story of a group of bar flies that spend their time at the bar dreaming of what could have been. Hickey is the one bright light in their dreary lives that pops into the bar once a year to drink and laugh with them, helping them feel somewhat alive. This year, however, Hickey brings them less than they're expecting and more of what they don't want to hear. His unexpected transformation throws everyone off track and sends them into a world of unwanted realizations about their pathetic lives. By the end of the play, everyone's world is turned upside down, including Hickey's. Things are not as they may seem. |
