Corrections: Feb. 23, 2025
An article this weekend on Page 20 about George Clooney making his Broadway debut this spring misstates what Amal Clooney was doing when Mr. Clooney invited her to watch him score a movie. She was negotiating to protect women's rights in Egypt's new constitution, not working on a treaty with the Muslim Brotherhood.
An article on Feb. 16 about the drug buprenorphine, an opioid that can help treat addiction to more serious opioids like heroin and fentanyl, misstated Kelly Pfeifer's relationship with the California Health Care Foundation. She is not currently a director with the organization.

With Post 1917, Lexington gets the suave steakhouse it deserves
Chef-owner Jason Carron is from Reading, and he saw a similar opportunity a few miles away in Lexington. 'Just like Reading, Lexington is the quintessential small town,' he says. 'It's a perfect downtown feel without being in Boston.' Server Sebastian Mutis at Post 1917 restaurant in Lexington. JOSH REYNOLDS FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE Indeed, this is not Boston. When a friend and I unexpectedly spot one another in the dining room with a squeal and a quick hug, we're scolded by a neighboring diner. The décor is pared-down, too; there isn't much for wall art or soft lighting. Voices carry. But our server, Roberto, brings the charisma. He is a marvel. We're still talking about him. He presents each plate with a Broadway flourish; chats about his home-grilling techniques and teenage children; and fetches a fresh margarita with all the intuition of a medium when he senses mine isn't mixed properly. His debonair banter softens any rough edges. Advertisement 'He had the charm, warmth, and vivaciousness of a big-city [waiter],' a dining companion who works downtown texted me later. Yes, we all loved Roberto. Patrons in the bar area at Post 1917 restaurant in Lexington. JOSH REYNOLDS FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE What to eat : As in Reading, food is uniformly excellent and roams beyond pricy steaks (though there are plenty of those, too). Chicken parmesan ($31), spilling over the plate, is a must-order: not especially crispy but tender, juicy, and brightened with a piquant marinara. Cacio e pepe ($29) is also a zippy surprise: texturally perfect bucatini, lots of peppercorns, and pops of parmesan.

JOSH REYNOLDS FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE Roberto also urges us toward a shareable portion of crab cakes ($29), all crab and zero filler, doused in a creamy lobster sauce. Black truffle lobster arancini ($25), also built to share, tilts more truffle than lobster, but is plenty satisfying. Other successes: steak frites and truffle fries with chimichurri ($42) and earthy roasted carrots ($14). Note to celiac-sensitive diners: Much of the menu is gluten-free. (Carron's son has celiac disease.) Crab cakes made from colossal crab and lobster sauce at Post 1917 restaurant in Lexington. JOSH REYNOLDS FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE What to drink: This branch has a vast wine room and a long list to match, although classic cocktails also occupy center stage: There are gin martinis monumental in both size and in price ($24), plus Cosmos, Negronis, and Old Fashioneds. There's a busy bar scene adjacent to the quieter dining room — and, ooh, is that Steely Dan I hear in the background? A cucumber martini. JOSH REYNOLDS FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE The takeaway: A spendy, sophisticated evening out in the suburbs, with a menu that ventures beyond steak and skillfully so. Right now, service is the most colorful part of the dining room (though I'm told Roberto is back in Reading), but a few pieces of wall art could easily change that.

Jennifer Lopez helms musical drama Kiss of the Spider Woman in ‘career highlight'
Jennifer Lopez stars in the musical drama film Kiss of the Spider Woman, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. The movie also features actors Diego Luna and Tonatiuh, and is directed by Bill Condon. The film is based on the 1976 Argentinian novel of the same name by Manuel Puig and the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical by Terrence McNally, John Kander and Fred Ebb. A description for the film from Sundance reads: 'Valentín, a political prisoner, shares a cell with Molina, a window dresser convicted of public indecency. The two form an unlikely bond as Molina recounts the plot of a Hollywood musical starring his favourite silver screen diva, Ingrid Luna.' 'Jennifer Lopez is an astonishing scene-stealer in a career-highlight performance as Luna/Aurora, with showstopping musical numbers that underscore the exuberant prowess of her dancing and voice,' the description continues. The film has received generally positive reviews, with Lopez being praised for her performance. A Guardian review said of the actor's performance: 'Lopez, who hasn't been recently well-served by her middling Netflix action oeuvre, is also a natural fit for the material and the knowingly over-the-top tone, a larger-than-life star perfect at playing one.' A trailer for the film was released on Wednesday.

Ayo Edebiri and Don Cheadle to Star in Broadway ‘Proof' Revival
Ayo Edebiri and Don Cheadle will make their Broadway debuts next spring as a father and daughter united by math as well as mental health struggles in a revival of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play 'Proof.' The play, by David Auburn, previously ran on Broadway from October 2000 to January 2003 — an unusually long run for a serious drama. In 2001 it won not only the Pulitzer but also the Tony Award for best play. Set in Chicago, 'Proof' is about a young woman whose father, a well-known mathematician, has died; she is juggling complex relationships with her sister and with one of her father's former students. And those relationships are upended by the discovery of a mathematical proof of uncertain authorship in her father's office. Reviewing an Off Broadway production in 2000, the critic Bruce Weber, writing in The New York Times, deemed it 'an exhilarating and assured new play' and said that it 'turns the esoteric world of higher mathematics literally into a back porch drama, one that is as accessible and compelling as a detective story.' The play has been widely staged, and in 2005 was adapted for film. Edebiri is an Emmy Award winner for her role in the FX series 'The Bear.' Cheadle was nominated for an Academy Award for his work in the 2004 film 'Hotel Rwanda.' The 'Proof' revival will be directed by Thomas Kail, who won a Tony Award for directing 'Hamilton.' It is scheduled to begin previews March 31 and to open April 16 at an unspecified Shubert theater. Mike Bosner ('Beautiful' and 'Shucked') and Kail are the revival's lead producers.
