After more than 30 years in Los Angeles, Alfred Molina is enjoying his newly minted status as an Upper West Sider.
“My wife and I have bought an apartment here, and we’re slowly transitioning to New York,” he said last month at Lincoln Center Theater before a rehearsal for the Chekhov classic “Uncle Vanya,” which opens on Broadway on Wednesday.
Molina, who is originally from London, shared his favorite walk in New York, why he loves the subway, and a Jonathan Groff-inspired song lyric that he came up with seemingly on the spot. These are edited excerpts from the conversation.

Jonathan Groff
A friend for life who introduced me to my wife. Now there’s a lyric for you! I’ve seen him three times in “Merrily We Roll Along,” and each time he was brilliant.

anyone else completely loosing it over Jonathan Groff’s choice to have Frank’s voice get progressively less harsh and textured as the show progresses (or, as he becomes younger and less… harsh and textured)?
at the beginning of the show (and the END of his cannon arc) in “That Frank,” he growls frequently in his singing (“…let it never stop!”) and thoroughly textures his louder line deliveries (“PARAMOUNT!!!”), whereas by the finale, (and the END of his cannon arc) “Our Time,” he’s skillfully tapered out the texture throughout the course of the score. totally buttered my skunk, and was an elegantly effective focal point for my second listen!

"merrily we roll along would have worked if it were told in order" actually merrily needs have an even weirder timeline. tell it completely out of order. put opening doors before old friends before bobby and jackie and jack. like it was before now you know. if the audience can't keep up that's their problem.
