Thrilling! Highway Patrol at the Goodman Theatre featuring Dana Delany and Dot-Marie Jones (Through February 18, 2024)

This play is based on a true story. It is 2012 and Dana Delany is working on Body of Proof on ABC. Peter Gallagher connects her with an enthusiastic fan. He is a 13-year-old boy named Cam who has had two heart transplants. They send direct messages to each other on Twitter throughout the day and become close. One day, Cam is admitted to the hospital and Dana gets updates from his family. Dana makes plans to fly to Costa Rica, where Cam lives. 

Jen Silverman (The MoorsThe Roommate) along with Mike Donahue, Dane Laffrey, and Dana Delany have created a truly compelling and thrilling play from Delany’s own the digital archives. The audience is at the edge of the seats waiting to see what happens next. The sets are incredibly realistic and the digital projections behind them are very impressive. This is a Broadway worthy-production. 

Dana Delaney is so warm and charming playing herself. Fans of her work on Desperate Housewives and China Beach will likely be a bit starstruck seeing her on stage. Thomas Murphy Molony is fantastic as Cam, who is so wise and mature for his age. Dot-Marie Jones (Glee) is superb as Cam’s family. Her acting talents are on full display.
