I'll admit it: I've taken my sweet time Googling for the perfect picture of Scarlett Johansson to accompany Gothamist stories on the starlet, and while I was curious find out whether she could hold her own in her Broadway debut, I figured it would at least be an opportunity to gawk for a couple of hours.
