Actor Dan Lauria Stars As NFL Legend Vince Lombardi In New Broadway Play

"Lombardi" at Broadway's Circle in the Square Theatre alongside actress Judith Light as Marie Lombardi.

Sport produces great human drama and there is no greater sports icon to bring to theatrical life than Hall of Fame football coach Vince Lombardi, unquestionably one of the most inspirational and quotable personalities of all time.

Though football’s Super Bowl trophy is named for him, few know the real story of Lombardi the man—his inspirations, his passions and ability to drive people to achieve what they never thought possible. Directed by Tony nominee Thomas Kail (In the Heights), "Lombardi" is based on the best-selling biography When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi by Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Maraniss.

The play has received great reviews. All week long in honor of the Super Bowl, several former NFL players will be signing autographs after the show.

• Audience members can also win other exclusive prizes during Super Bowl Week! Ticket holders on February 1, 2 and 3 will be automatically eligible to win. Three winners will be selected at random each night after the performance.
