He can be wildly funny in the most sly ways possible. “He also has a wryness to him and a sardonic quality that grounds every line he says. “He has a likability and openness and he doesn’t have a mean bone in his body,” DiPietro said of Broderick. “When the play takes a political turn, we (as an audience) have to make the decision on whether we’re still rooting for him. “Babbitt is a man who isn’t an innocent but he has a sweetness to him, even though he starts spouting things that many people would find offensive, both then and now,” DiPietro said.

It’s funny in a subtle and sly way,” Broderick said of Lewis.
