David Hyde Pierce returning to the New York stage

We sleep with the television on, a very old habit of Frank’s that seems unbreakable. I’ve gotten used to it (I didn’t even have a TV in my bedroom the 14 years I was single) and can tell what time it is by what’s on the Hallmark Channel or TV Land. Frazier comes on before The Golden Girls. Strange, how the background sound of a sitcom can become soporific, but it has. I’ve gotten into shows I never watched, shows like Frazier, with the wonderful David Hyde Pierce. We saw him on Broadway a few years ago in ‘Curtains.’ He was marvelous. And I’ve always admired him for being out, proud and married to his longtime partner, Brian Hargrove. Pierce is coming back to the stage and I hope we manage to see it. From the Washington Post: NEW YORK — David Hyde Pierce will return to the New York stage in December as an obsessive book editor. The former “Frasier” star will headline “Close Up Space,” a play by Molly Smith Metzler to be staged at New York City Center. It centers on an editor who is estranged from his daughter until she walks back into his life. Pierce was last on stage opposite Mark Rylance in “La Bete.”
