“Breaking Bad” stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul have announced some special ‘In Conversation’ shows set for next year.
The stars of the iconic TV series will hit our shores next January, with shows confirmed in Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland.
Per the announcement today, “Bryan and Aaron will be on stage together to talk about how the show was made, what it gave to each, and what it took out of them. They will discuss everything ‘Breaking Bad’: the writing, the production’s long days, the mistakes, the danger, the scenes that cracked them up with laughter – and the ones that broke them up with despair.”
The AMC series ran for five seasons between 2008-2013 and is widely considered one of the best shows ever made. In fact, it placed at No. 5 on Variety‘s 100 Greatest TV Shows of All Time list.
“It’s not just that the descent of Bryan Cranston’s Walter White from unfulfilled high school chemistry teacher to meth kingpin of the Southwest is one of the true breathtaking accomplishments of the Peak TV era. It’s that, in so many ways, ‘Breaking Bad’ exemplifies the peak of that era: the meticulously cinematic visual style; the cunning, corkscrew tonal shifts of the writing; the collision of workaday domesticity with unsparing criminal violence; the murderer’s row of supporting characters (Saul Goodman! Gus Fring! Mike Ehrmantraut!) matching its diamond-sharp main cast led by Cranston, Aaron Paul and Anna Gunn,” Variety wrote.
“Even the show’s transformation from basic cable darling to national sensation once it was available on a nascent streamer called Netflix epitomizes the TV culture of its moment.”
General public tickets for the tour go on sale from 11am on Friday, October 2nd. Click here for more details and check out all of the dates below.
