His line readings and rhythms during the "you can't handle the truth" scene are very different than Nicholson's.Tom Blyth is incredibly likable and winnable as Kaffee.

Maybe he's been cast in a movie. I love Tony Shalhoub, but he's on stage in NY far more often than Paul Gia...

Helen Shaw's week in London: A Knockout Josh O’Connor, Cate Blanchett and More

Josh O'Connor is just wonderful.Off-topic, but I wonder if there will ever be another production of the "Golden Boy" musical --- unfortunate that, although more daring racially than the play (and both written by Odets), the musical has aged far worse."I can't verify that, I've never seen the musical or read its book, but I love, love, love its score. I agree that the play has held up very well.

Does anyone remember Katharine Hepburn's pull-quote early during the run of the initial Broadway production? It was something like, "Damn good script, damn good cast, damn good time."

I was not crazy about this play when it was first produced, though most of its cast made the best possible case for it.Comments about John Benjamin Hickey's direction reminded me of something Tonya Pinkins said after working on Rasheeda Speaking for The New Group. That the play needed a real director, and not an actor trying their hand at directing (in that case, Cynthia Nixon). This might be easier said than done, since they are as well known as they are, but maybe successful NY actors need ...

Eva Marie Saint Dead at 102

She worked with just about everybody in her prime (her leading men included Brando, Clift, Beatty, Newman, Garner, Montand, Peck, even Bob Hope) and they were all better for it.Jeffrey Karasarides, you can add to her theatre connections the film version of A Hatful of Rain. It may seem tame by today's standards in its depiction of drug addiction, but it was a groundbreaker in its time and was very well filmed. Shelley Winters and Ben Gazzara were probably grittier on stage, but Eva and Don Mu...

Re: Why is Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf so popular?

Gillian Anderson does not have a good stage voice. It's painfully shrill, as though she's afraid she won't be heard if she doesn't push. I wanted to leave at intermission when I saw her in A Streetcar Named Desire but somehow stuck it out. StageDoor3 said something about Billy Crudup rising to her level. I find the accuracy of that statement hard to believe. She would have to rise up to his: he is an excellent stage actor. Hopefully, though, their performances will be equally matched.

What about John Lloyd Young? I don't know what he sings like when he isn't playing Frankie Valli, but physically he's a good match for Bobby Darin. Come to think of it, I've never seen him in anything other than Jersey Boys. There might be a reason for that, of course, but it would be a good Broadway comeback story.Update: Since posting this I watched some videos of him performing songs from his cabaret acts and I think he would be really good. He isn't half the draw Darren Criss would be, bu...
