Yes, it has been actively presented to producers at least twice with David Cromer directing and Deirdre O’Connell and Carrie Coon as Violet and Barbara. Here’s an article about it from 2023.

Unless they have a big A-lister in line for the female role in Three Days of Rain, I can probably count on my fingers and toes how many people would buy a ticket to see the co-lead of a single episode of television in it on Broadway. That play is a snooze, even without Julia Roberts weighing it down. Put it in Cherry Lane for a couple months maybe.

If they True West-ed this, I’d see it a minimum of four times.

I would see those ladies in truly anything. (Even The Gin Game!) But yeah, Other Desert Cities is an unexciting plot twist in search of a play. The only meaty roles are the aunt and the daughter.

That said, my ticket is already as good as purchased if this happens.

You’re totally right. I don’t know which theater I was thinking about, but it’s not the Lyceum.

 

Animal Wisdom has a 9pm curtain on Fridays if you’re in wanting to squeeze in a show and not have to rush. Odds are also good you could get a literal rush ticket for it and still have time to grab food nearby beforehand.

Disney has more than enough money to pay for the additional strings. They’re cutting them because the people at the top aren’t seeing these shows and don’t understand the impact reducing an orchestra can have. There are savvy ways to reduce orchestra size to cut costs without it also sacrificing the integrity; Disney doesn’t know how to do that.

A shame it’s closing with Betsy as Madeline and not Megan. The show just isn’t the same without her.

If it transfers, it would undoubtedly be with Jonathan Bailey and Ariana Grande intact, unless he’s awful in the part and somehow becomes less famous simultaneously. Other than that, no one can tell the future and the production hasn’t even started rehearsals, so…

I follow Ms Stalter's hairdresser on insta and every time he posts pics of her I throw up a little bit in my mouth."

Um… what the actual f*ck??

Meg Stalter has been at the top of my dream Mary list so I grabbed a ticket for July 6th as fast as my little thumbs could go. Seeing Maya a week earlier. What a time to be alive.

Imagine if people just spoke truthfully and Michael Arden could take an interview like this and say “You know what? It just didn’t work. We did the out of town tryout and we didn’t take enough time to whip the show into shape. But I’m glad we did it.” I think it’s okay to admit that, postmortem.

20-week run beginning August 14th at the August Wilson, per their website.

Prepared to spend an obscene amount of money should this come to fruition.

Right there with you. Absolutely devastating. Sally Field and Cherry Jones were such diametrically opposite Amandas, and both left me wrung out.

Keeping my fingers crossed it’s A:OC and we get a Sally Field/Carrie Coon cage match.
