Maybe it's just awkwardly worded--but Room is not a world premier. It looked like it maybe had some potential (I wonder if they are still cross-casting a role.)

Posted: 3/4/13 at 12:15amI changed it from "premiere" because it's only for SECONDHAND LIONS. I found the same article you did, though. lol.

You mean video? 
I am somewhat curious about both shows--maybe I'll take the clipper over to Seattle.

Posted: 3/4/13 at 12:28amA Room With a View was magnificent at the Old Globe and would have been right at home with Lincoln Center at the Vivian Beaumont. I sort of wish the Globe production had transferred, but I guess the authors still feel like there's work to be done.

Posted: 3/4/13 at 1:03amI LOVE Secondhand Lions. I always thought it could transfer to the stage beautifully. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping I was right!
