Our hero reacts to all this flying lead by turning tail and running away from Lincoln Center as fast as he can. After our treatment at the famed performance space on Saturday afternoon, my family has a pretty good idea how that guy must’ve felt. Granted, nobody reached for his shooting iron, but we did have to contend with some high caliber attitude and bulletproof indifference.

On this we were all set to see Iron Man star Robert Downey, who was making his Broadway debut
