eymooners’ favor: the fact that
the original show only ran for
39 episodes (not counting the
lost episodes or sketches); the
show’s incredible popularity af-
ter six decades; and turning it
into a musical comedy. The idea
of the show moving on after its
run in Millburn may be in the
back of everyone’s minds, but
they’re focused on Paper Mill
run now.
For Mastro, this year represents
a return to focusing on his own
acting career. The Albany, New
York native has been in his share
of shows on Broadway (Love!
Valour! Compassion!, Barry-
more, Side Man, Mama Mia! and
West Side Story to name a few).
Just before rehearsals began
for The Honeymooners, Mas-
tro had a role in the upcoming
Barry Levinson film (still untitled
at press time) at HBO about the
Joe Paterno and Jerry Sandusky
case at Penn State. Mastro had
the opportunity to work along-
side Al Pacino for five weeks on
the project.
