No one will ever accuse Ryan Dean Tucker of being lazy, or of being creatively timid. The man who is the host of the new Lilac City Live! talk show and who formerly recreated a Seinfeld episode for the live stage is turning his acting talents to the cinematic classic Die Hard — and delivering the epic action flick as a one-man show. How will this work? By a clever combination of filmed parts and live acting in which Tucker will interact with himself in the roles of villain Hans Gruber, hostage Holly, limo driver Argyle, street cop Powell and, of course, our hero John McClane. Will this work? You’ll have to show up to find out. Nakatomi Plaza’s future depends on it, and I’m sure Tucker doesn’t take that lightly.
