Dollypop, you've told that story before on another thread. I love that story.. Can you at least tell us which movie it was? I'm assuming by your time line it was in the 80s. 

Can you imagine that great book? He was there when Harper discovered she was ill, then worked with Powers replacing her, then the short lived High with Turner, and now this careening vehicle with THE Dunaway.

I would buy that in a heartbeat. A play would also be great with actresses playing Harper, Powers, Turner and Dunaway.

Even after hearing all this gossip a friend of mine is flying to Boston just to see Faye on the stage for the second time in his life.

It so confusing BrodyFosse123 because Lombardo stated in a recent interview: 

The original Tea at Five premiered at Hartford Stage and was two acts: Hepburn at 31 and, after intermission, 76. “It was interesting to show two different phases of her life, but I realized the audiences responded far more to Act II. So I thought, why don’t we do a 90-minute version where she reflects on her career? It’s more concise. You know, I’ve been working on it for 18 years, so I hope I got it right this time!”

Lombardo wrote the role specifically for Faye Dunaway. “I sent it to her by messenger Monday evening, and I woke up Tuesday to a beautiful message from Faye saying she loved the play, how moved she was and how much she wanted to do it.” 

In that interview he makes it sound like changing it to a one act play focusing on the later Hepburn was not a request from Faye but something he did on his own with Faye already in his mind to do it. 

I'M SO CONFUSED!!!!

Does anyone know when the critics arrive to review this?

I'm starting to have a familiar feeling of dread (I may have to take to my bed).

Candace Malkin - did Dunaway do the distinctive Hepburn voice? Did she do the physical tremors? Thanks

Faye's onstage RIGHT NOW as Kate!

 
I'm on tenterhooks and tenderhooks (haha)! Fingers crossed!

The last person I would think of to portray Katharine Hepburn is Roseanne Barr

Haha That's what comes from typing while sleepy!

Starmites not winning a goddamned thing

Yes, it will be interesting to see how she looks as Hepburn and especially how she sounds as Hepburn. Will she do the full Martin Short? haha

Being a life long Faye fan, I of course want it to succeed, but in the last twenty five years (since the whole Sunset Blvd debacle, then the Master Class filming debacle) I'm always on tender hooks and worried what might happen.

She's like a family member I dearly love, but am always worried about and afraid for.

Thank you bwaybrent and CATSnyrevival

Since someone brought up Into the Woods, how did Bernadette do the quick change from old crone to beautiful? Was she wearing a mask?

"BroadwayWorld has learned today that Tea at Five, which marks Academy Award®-winning legend Faye Dunaway's anticipated return to the stage, has set a pre-Broadway engagement at Boston's Huntington Theatre this summer and then open on Broadway later this year at a theater to be announced." 

YaY!   

BrodyFosse123 saidYou ARE aware Faye did that MASTER CLASS National Tour almost 22 years ago."

Haha yes, I am aware (EVERYTIME I look in the mirror) but I didn't think age was being considered the issue. Faye turns 78 in January but there are older stars doing Broadway and at least it's not a touring situation, and Faye moved back to NYC last year.

I hope it happens. It will be exciting to see Faye try to embody the classic Hepburn voice.

Any guesses as to who the actor male or female that dished on Dunaway then requested it be off the record? Just a hint please Dollypop?

I do believe some of Dunaway's behavior can be attributed to disorders. But God knows she ain't the only one with those issues in that crazy business called show.

Why do you think there's no way it will actually happen? 

I know Faye is considered quite eccentric (bat**** crazy) but she did that long Master Class nat'l tour (saw her in three different cities in Texas and loved it) and this is a limited run in the same location.

Just wondering why BW posters think this is a definite no go.

One of my favorite songs of LuPone's is her first number Back on Top. Her voice is in GLORIOUS form and the song has a great melody, but I swear I can only make out like every fifth word and some whole sentences go by with nothing. I wish the lyrics were online somewhere. I am a huge LuPone fan, but it's almost comical how indecipherable she is with that accent when she sings.

But then I could barely understand her singing Invisible in Women on the Verge....
