I doubt Jon Groff will do this because of RED in LA. March 14-17. Orphans starts the 19 of March, but rehersals for both will conflict. Jon Groff in Red
There's just 2 days of rehearsal, but it all conflicts. Still, he could drop out if he wanted. There are the bigger issues of his being completely wrong for Treat. And doesn't he have to be available if the HBO show goes?

The other weird thing is that with apparently all the fighting between Baldwin and Shia.....it is usually the third actor (whoever plays Phillip) that steals the show.
I'm sorry, but did you see his audtion tape? That kid is talented! Probably f*cked up, but such naturalism!! I just assumed he was Transformer Movie Boy, talented enough but I wouldn't have seen the show anyway. NOW I wish he was back in it so I could see him. I hope he gets over whatever is wrong with him and comes back and do a show. Cause I will go see that!
So if Orphans goes out in a blaze of glory, can The Glass Menagerie go into the Schoenfeld?
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

I dont't know if any average Joe will know his name. Maybe, if you had said that he was the kid in the Transformers movies, you might have people go " Oh, now I know who you're talking about." But, I don't think that they would know him by name alone.

Shia showed great potential back in his Disney days. He was terrific on Even Stevens and I enjoyed his work in Holes, Tru Confessions and The Greatest Game Ever Played. Then he made the terrible choice of doing a string of bad blockbusters (Eagle Eye, Indiana Jones, Transformers). I was really hoping Orphans was going to be a turnaround for him. Instead this happened.
Sturridge's little e-mail is sweet, but the little sentence about Shia Labeouf lifting the play "to a place higher than it maybe deserves to be" is going to go over really well with Lyle Kessler, isn't it.

Sounds to me like LaBeouf, an inexperienced stage actor, was trying to give an opening night performance on the first day of rehearsals.
People I know who have worked with Sullivan claim he's a very hands-off director in terms of directing actors (i.e. he gently nudges talent in the right direction rather than digging in and micromanaging their work).
LaBeouf needed a micromanager to get him back to basics, Sullivan wasn't it, Baldwin knew it, and had him fired.
Just my theory.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

I don't get it.Why are you all being so mean to him? Why is he a douche? He seems like he had a pretty messed up childhood and overcame some things but still has some demons. Some of you people are just awful.
Plus, did you watch his audition tape? There were some brilliant moments in it. Or are some of you way too evil-bitchy to even contemplate someone so "icky" could be talented?
