When ‘A Steady Rain’ opened last night on Broadway, you could almost feel the heat from New York all the way in California.

Keith Huff’s drama features the sparest of sets and only two characters who play lifelong friends and Chicago cops. But let’s cut to the chase -- and we mean no disrespect to the playwright: The night was all about Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman.

Though he was making his Broadway debut, Craig is no stranger to the boards, having appeared in London in Caryl Churchill’s ‘A Number’ and Tony Kushner’s ‘Angels in America.’ And, of course, Jackman, a Tony winner for ‘The Boy From Oz’ and Curley in ‘Oklahoma!,’ is on familiar turf.

An explosion of stars descended on the Gerald Shoenfeld Theatre for this big event and the after-party at the Harvard Club. Click on the jump to see who was on the red carpet.
