Posted: 1/28/15 at 1:13pmThey're trying to get a star to sign on for a role and they won't announce until they can nail down that star.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 1/29/15 at 11:25amCymbeline is my personal favorite Shakespeare so I'm really happy they are doing it.
#4Shakespeare in the Park 2015 Rumors
Posted: 1/29/15 at 11:39amExcited about The Tempest. Not so excited about Cymbeline. Glad it's two Shakespeare production this season.

Posted: 1/29/15 at 12:02pmSam Waterston was a marvelous Prospero when the play was done at the Mitzie Newhouse Theater in Lincoln Center many years ago. (Prospero should only be about 45 if you study the text carefully). The stage of the theater had been replaced with tons of sand. Carol Kane was Miranda. It was an excellent production.

Posted: 1/29/15 at 3:01pmHappy about Tempest but Cymbeline? No thanks. Saw the wonderful production at Lincoln Center years ago. For me, once is enough.

Didn't understand the Tempest until I saw the New York Classical Theatre production in Battery Park a couple of summers ago. The relationship between Prospero and Miranda and between Prospero and Ariel was so imaginatively presented: whenever Prospero spoke with Ariel (Ariels - three actresses shared the part, appearing together and sometimes separately), Miranda was in a trance and spoke with them. Prospero has trouble letting go of both his daughter and his magical powers.
I used to think Tempest was a bore. Now I look for things in it that never interested me. I would stand on line to see Waterston!

Posted: 1/30/15 at 11:02pmOh, I would definitely stand in line for Jack McCoy. I imagine a lot of other New Yorkers would as well. I wonder how bad the lines will be.

Saw CYMBELINE on Wednesday. Not a Shakespeare fan but really enjoyed it. Had stage seating and became part of the show at one point. Took me quite by surprise but it was fun! It is a bit confusing but there is a detailed synopsis in the playbill. I would actually see it again. A lot of laughs, good acting and Raul got to sing! A nice discovery is that Tom Kitt did the music.

Dan Sullivan directing Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater in THE TAMING OF THE SHREW seems inevitable.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Your guess on the show was the correct, even if the details were so off...

Verrrrry curious to see how Sullivan pulls off T&C. That play is bloody impossible.
"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.”
