It's the London company which will feature Sahr Ngaugah. The choices for NT Live series two aren't that interesting overall. No desire for another Hamlet or Cherry Orchard.
It's true - except I don't think it's the Broadway cast.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Speak for yourself, Yankeefan. Hamlet and The Cherry Orchard never get old, and I think FELA! being shown in the same season is quite an honor. They are both works of genius.
