Is The Good Wife the New Law and Order for Broadway?

As most frequent Broadway-goers know, many a Playbill bio are filled with actors' appearances on Law and Order, Law and Order SVU, Law and Order Criminal Intent... But now it looks as if there might be a new show casting New York-based theater actors on a regular basis, The Good Wife. The show starring Julianna Margulies (who presented at the Tony Awards last year) as a scorned politician's wife, ala Silda Spitzer, films in New York although it takes place in Chicago. I happened to catch this week's episode and was excited to see one of my favorite Broadway actors Santino Fontana as a guest star as well as Martha Plimpton and Alan Cumming who apparently have reoccuring roles.  Broadway vet Christine Baranski is one of the show's stars!  I think I might have to add The Good Wife to my DVR que!

Here's a photo of Alan Cumming all suited up as the lawyer Eli Stone in The Good Wife.
