Doctor Zhivago, a Broadway musical based on the novel by Boris Pasternak will close on Sunday after 26 previews and 23 regular performances.

Before the closure was announced, we spoke with Tam Mutu who plays the title character. After starring on London stages, the handsome leading man was making his Broadway debut.

The tone of the interview is celebratory, light, and hopeful. We can’t imagine that’s how Mutu is feeling today - especially since he’s been aimed at Broadway before - cast in the in the infamously falsely financed production of Rebecca.

Still, we wanted to share some of the interview - which we hope you’ll agree is an interesting conversation with a very charming man.
