Instagram/@johnkrasinski

John Krasinski is feeling the heat as the last production elements are being put into ‘Angry Alan.’ Fan mongering that is orchestrated by this very production. The actor-director posted on Instagram this intense countdown image with “4 WEEKS LEFT” all caps covering a fiery-red background. Krasinski is striking classic tortured artist pose— his chin resting in the palm of his hand. Unfiltered drama with a pinch of Krasinski charm.

The image is the vibe: very deep red undertones, screaming yellow burst-out numbers, and an internalized Krasinski in a checkered shirt pondering on what a very crazy ride this type of play has been. Above him; the words shouting: “JOHN KRASINSKI ANGRY ALAN” to inform us that this does not seem like a side gig for him- This is heavy. “Can’t believe we’re already in the home stretch!!! AngryAlanPlay.com” was the caption, and you can almost hear the thrill in his voice, teamed with exhaustion screaming had-gotta-go.”

The ranks of comments have ensued. One went: “Your most phenomenal performance,” while another expressed: “Man I wish I could go 😭 if only there was a pro shot of it.” Real talk: for those unable to make it to NYC, I’m with you.

A solitary commenter took the UI comment box to serve as an open-air SOS: “Hey John! Spanish fan here 🇪🇸 I’d love to see you on stage in NYC before Aug 3rd, but can’t find a place to stay 😅 If you know anyone renting for a weekend, let me know—it’d mean so much!” Bold. Krasinski has yet to reply, but hey, this boldness could pay off.

Almost on the bus already to the show’s opening, some had reported, “On the bus on my way to NYC right now to see the show today!!” Others chimed in “Same!!! It’s so so so good!” The fever sure was infectious.

But it was those that kept the discussion on track that made the place: “Yay I’m finally herrpes-free. I feel blessed, happy, and heallthy again.” Okay and great for you, but maybe not the right place?

Meanwhile, another asked in an alarming level of specificity, “I swear that if you answer me, I’ll get back with my ex-girlfriend who I was a year away from getting married to. She said I was her Jim and she said Pam.” That’s…a lot to unpack. Krasinski has wisely chosen not to engage.

The play has been a huge deal for Krasinski as it has brought him back to his theater roots after years of dominating every surface imaginable- both big and small. And with only weeks left, so much pressure hangs on- for him and the viewers scrambling to catch it before the final curtain falls.

If you, by some twist of fate, grab a ticket for this shindig or just live vicariously through other’s Instagram comments, one thing for sure: whatever the masses say about Krasinski, they’re saying it about ‘Angry Alan.’ And judging by the reaction, he’s really making his mark.
