In a vigorous but uneven "Lombardi,'' which opened on Broadway Thursday night, a sparkling moment shows New York Giants assistant coach Vince Lombardi and his wife, Marie, mulling Vince's chance to become head coach and general manager of the Green Bay Packers.
Judith Light powerfully plays the rueful Mrs. Lombardi as a boozy football widow resigned to missing the big city as they head toward pro football's tiniest town.
Locating an atlas, she archly asks Vince the location of Green Bay.
"Wisconsin,'' he replies.
"Where is that?'' she says.
Alas, not every scene is so snappy as Dan Lauria offers an inconsistent portrayal of an iconic leader in American sports history. His Lombardi emerges less defined than those around him and less present than his era of a half-century ago.
"Good night,'' he says in the play's final line. "That is all.''
