Profile for Play Esq.

I was looking forward to Jonathan Bailey, But I honestly I would love to see Samantha Barks, Laura Osnes, Caissie Levy or Hannah Waddingham in the role of Dot. I believe it could be fantastic."Hannah will be 53 next year. And Laura Osnes is done."And I’m sorry, because it’s been 20 years, but he and Barks had absolutely no chemistry in Last Five Years. …that said, I’d kill to see Waddingham do this, but she’d totally ov...

This is sure to be a hard hit for the Barbican…I’m sure they were already projecting those funds for future seasons. Hopefully they got some good membership numbers for those looking to get in early. I’m sure Bailey will be a fantastic George, but he’s just not a big enough draw to justify a summer trip to London…for me at least. Here’s hoping for great reviews and a 2027/2028 transfer.

I signed and I pray it happens! I really can’t stand Cats but this production should live on in some form.

Really curious to see pictures of the set. The RSC isn’t know to be chintzy. I gather they have their sights set for the West End.

This title read like Mad Libs to me...

I don’t see a world where one or both doesn’t come to the US, possibly in rep. If not New York (BAM?), probably D.C.

Braggart 😒I kid, I’m just extremely jealous. Sad to think we may never see Metcalf’s Martha.

And RSC tends to extend or come in for a London season.

I mean…why?

Would see this in a New York minute! Hope it overlaps with Sunday!

When I saw this thread I was hoping it would be at the National: They have the resources to pull this off.

Bad play and a cast that won’t sell (and isn’t this guy like secondary in Heated Rivalry?)Whomever said you need an unimpeachable star is correct: there were several high profile plays with more legit stars than this that won’t recoup this season alone.

^You have too much time on your hands.

I wouldn’t go so far to say that Paulson will bring in the crowds. While her last show did gangbusters business towards the mid and end of its runs, you could generally walk right in for cheap prior. I think all of her previous shows closed early. That said, I think the pairing of the two, especially considering the number of talk shows that would die to book this duo for press, will make this a hot ticket early on.
