Re: Little Shop...Who Leads? Anyone know?
Having heard TR sing in Parade, it's probably for the best that he avoids musicals.

Tom Skerritt Dead at 93
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.
Re: Rumor Roundup - Potential Additions to This Season
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.
Re: MEMOIRS OF AMOROUS GENTLEMEN (Off-Broadway) - Duncan Sheik
The reviews across the board are pretty mixed and skewing negative. I wouldn't be surprised if this closed early.

Re: Rumor Roundup - Potential Additions to This Season
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/
Re: SCHOOL GIRLS; OR, THE AFRICAN MEAN GIRLS PLAY Reviews
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...
Re: Rumor Roundup - Potential Additions to This Season
I hadn't heard anything about an Aunt Dan and Lemon revival. Are there stars/creatives rumored to be attached?

Re: Lauren Gunderson plays?
RippedMan said: "Honestly this is the route I'm trying to, ha. Small, easy to digest, easy to produce. Smart."Well, she's also a brilliant self-promoter. Loves to paint people who criticize her plays as elitists and often suggests her critics are misogynists. Hell, she was even able to downplay the fact that she and her (now-estranged) husband were mentioned in the Epstein files!

Eva Marie Saint Dead at 102
Eva Marie Saint did a fair amount of regional theater, often directed by her husband, Jeffrey Hayden. For example, she was Linda Loman opposite Judd Hirsch in DEATH OF A SALESMAN at Playmakers Rep in North Carolina, in the early 1990s.I believe her last New York stage credit was a Roundabout revival of DUET FOR ONE in the mid-80s.
Re: Reimagined THE FANTASTICKS will open on Broadway this fall
Zane Phillips did lots of regional musical theater prior to the pandemic. He sounds fine to me. His voice doesn't blow me away, but it's solid. And it's hard to judge a full performance based on a one-minute clip out of context.
Re: Sam Rockwell, Marin Ireland & Alfred Molina Will Lead A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE Off-Broadway
No disrespect to Marin Ireland, but Carla Gugino is just such a better fit for Beatrice. If I wasn't excited already, the full cast announcement would do it.
Re: SPRING AWAKENING revival (Off-Broadway at Studio Seaview)
ClumsyDude15 said: "Lilli Cooper being cast as the Adult Woman got me like:" LOL. In all fairness, though, Cooper is significantly younger than the women who played the role in the original production. (Christine Estabrook was 55 when the Broadway production opened; Cooper is 36.) So is Abud. So it seems like they're wanting to take the characters in a different direction.

For those who’ve been so far, is 2:15 an accurate running time?
Can Americans "Do" Noel Coward?
nasty_khakis said: "I'll also say the discussion of "Brits do accents better!" is silly. I've sat through many shows in London with TERRIBLE American accents. In fact they seem to either generally default to Newsies "New Yaaawkah" or this broad Gone with the Wind genteel southern even when the characters say they're from Colorado or wherever. I saw Good People in London and the Americans behind me were astonished when I said this takes place in Boston because Imelda and others were doing Barb...

Still surprised we're a week-and-a-half into Bowen's run and there've been no firsthand reviews on this board.
