Two Impeccable Performances: Brian Bedford and Nina Arianda

By the time a production hits Broadway, you expect it to be polished, precise and entertaining. However, every so often you see an actor who is so well cast and so impeccable. Every so often, you see an actor who completely nails a role.

Hands down, two such actors this season are Brian Bedford as Lady Bracknell in Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest at the American Airlines Theatre and Nina Arianda as Billie Dawn in Born Yesterday at the Cort Theatre.

While the plays were a bit dated, I was captivated by these two excellent performances.
