Kathy McCafferty

McCafferty, who astutely speaks with authority which brings substantive credibility to Nadia's unwavering principles, supplies a feisty fervor throughout, a key element missing from Julianne Moore's oddly tentative portrayal in original Broadway production.

Tami, is played with a double dose of courage, honestly, realism and sardonic humor by Kathy McCafferty. Kathy as Josh’s mom, not only keeps the play going she keeps the family and herself going, during some pretty uncomfortable situations.I can’t remember the last time I was so filled with genuine feelings while watching actors on a stage. Because in my reality, they ceased to be actors, I was watching a real family.

Portrayed by Kathy McCafferty with that sort of room-filling effervescence that we sense borders on desperation, Lurene is looking hard for something she later learns might never have been real. McCafferty's energetic performance made even her character's rediscovery of a familiar regional confection into a remarkable event.

McCafferty combines manipulative charm, bite and a relentless will into a toxic brew.

...when Rosemary (McCafferty) pours her heart out to Anthony in that final scene and he remains maddeningly non-committal, try and restrain yourself from shouting out loud, “Kiss her already!"
