Dominick LaRuffa Jr. became a familiar face at Joe Allen back when he was tending bar at Bourbon Street on 46th and just launching his career as an actor and producer. Seven years, six Tony nominations, and one pandemic later, he joined us for a spirited hour of cocktails. We discussed the incredible challenges of this past year and the unexpected artistic growth that has come about because of it. We learned about Dom’s hopes for a more accessible Broadway post-COVID, how he managed to break into producing by raising big money from his bar regulars, and how it truly is “an honor just to be nominated” (for a Joey, of course.)
