Neither Idina Menzel nor Kristen Chenoweth could keep their shaky vehicles open, arguably more formidable above-the-title stars, so it's unlikely that Esparza - who never quite had a Wicked - has an audience of sufficient size to fuel a run."His last two appearances on Broadway would not suggest that that is a correct state...

I highly doubt this show will still be playing by Christmas.

Rudin likes to create his productions from the ground up. It's uncommon that he transfers something from Off-Broadway or London with a complete cast or creative team intact. It's not surprising then that he would hire Mantello (his director of choice), recast almost the entire company, and use new creatives.

My friend and I were just saying the other day that we hadn't seen Michael Aronov's name in a while. Glad to have him back onstage, in what should be a great role for him.

Anastasia_Beaverhausen said: "The combination of Rinna/Hamlin and the ridiculous ticket prices are keeping me away. Such a shame."Say what you will about Rinna, but Hamlin is a superb actor with a long history of stage credits, who studied acting at Yale and ACT, and has done a lot of really fine work throughout his career.

Can anyone who's seen this recently give a rough running time?

Sullivan has had an extraordinary career, both as a director and educator (he was for many years a professor at University of Illinois). And he was still directing well as recently as last summer with THE WINTER'S TALE in the Park. His retirement at age 86 is well earned.

I haven't seen the current production, but I saw DOWNSTATE twice at Playwrights and still think about it regularly. As a survivor, I felt the play took a nuanced view of the ways in which pedophiles rationalize their behavior, whether convincing themselves it was an act of love (in Dee's case), a flaw instilled in them by God (in Fred's case), or pure avoidance that they did anything wrong (in Gio's case). I didn't think presenting these perspectives was tantamount to endorsing them, and the ...

An extraordinary career that spanned eight decades. I'm glad I got to see her in two amazing performances relatively late: I Remember Mama and Significant Other.

I'd imagine both Moore and MTC entered into this arrangement knowing full well that it would intersect with awards season, in a year when Moore is heavily favored to be nominated (and possibly win) for an Oscar, and they've worked out how to handle it.

Having heard TR sing in Parade, it's probably for the best that he avoids musicals.

Skerritt lived primarily in Seattle and did a fair amount of theater there over the years, including Our Town at the Intiman under Bart Sher's direction.He was announced for the Broadway production of Straight White Men in 2018, but he withdrew on the eve of previews for health reasons.

I hadn't known about the potential Aunt Dan and Lemon revival before reading this thread, but it definitely seems to be in the works. I was chatting with a friend over the weekend who runs a small regional theater. She said she'd inquired about the rights to the play and was told they're on hold in advance of a major revival.

The reviews across the board are pretty mixed and skewing negative. I wouldn't be surprised if this closed early.

RHINOCEROS is official now. Maslany and Turturro are continuing, with Tony Shalhoub replacing Giamatti. THE FULL MONTY is officially postponed “due to casting availability.” https://www.theatermania.com/news/john-turturro-tony-shalhoub-and-tatiana-maslany-to-star-on-broadway-in-rhinocero_1857244/

I caught the matinee yesterday. I'd previously seen a regional production where I came away liking the play but feeling it hadn't been well served. I'm so happy this revival fires on all cylinders. Whitney White's direction is impeccable, and Qween Jean should clear another spot on her mantle for her next Tony. Cody Spencer's sound design is superb and is a lesson in how to amplify a play without making the speech sound distorted. What a cast! Onyi Aba was on for Nana and was excellent. Denée...
