All The Way
Someone won a couple tickets to the LBJ play that covers Nov. 1963 - Nov. 1964, particularly his attempt to get the Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed and get elected in his own right. So, had a chance to see it. A bit too focused on one man, but even there, the large cast (playing multiple roles) remind it isn't only about him (MLK is sort of secondary lead, also very good). As art, it is very good, though it felt a bit long. Almost worth the real ticket prices.
