"Australia's Yvonne Strahovski had never even seen a Broadway show when she made her American stage debut in Lincoln Center Theater's revival of Clifford Odets' period drama. Yet the blonde bombshell, a fan favorite on the TV series Chuck and Dexter, gave a knockout stage performance as Lorna Moon, the "Tramp from Newark" love interest to costar Seth Numrich's boxer, Joe Bonaparte. Strahovski infused Lorna's chilly exterior with humanity, and delivered zingers like a champ with an impressive 1930's Noo Yawk accent. Lorna Moon might be a stereotypical moll on the page, but Strahovski turned her into a living, breathing, and deeply damaged human."
