Alan Alda & Candice Bergen will start performing in Love Letters on Broadway this Sunday. Anyone else have tickets yet? I'm going Tuesday!

Please report back! Can't wait to hear about it.
Of the three casts so far, they seem the most logical fit for these WASPS, though Farrow is close.

Nothing about Alda reads WASPish to me.

Although he is Italian, most of Alda's roles have been of WASPs.
Alda with Burnett would have been a FOUR SEASONS reunion
vernon...that's exactly what I thought when I saw this with Carol and Brian Dennehy...I would have loved to see the combo of Burnett and Alda, not sure why they didn't go that way.

I saw them yesterday. I am probably the biggest Alan Alda fan ever so this was definitely the production that I wanted to see. I can see how each of the actors could bring something different to the parts but I thought both he and Candice B were wonderful. The hour and a half just flew by. And they had a lovely rapport and rhythm together.
I think I would have enjoyed seeing a lot of the different women in this part. But there is something about Alan that just gets me from the first moment he opens his mouth and looks outwards at the audience and this production did not disappoint.
I didn't wait around at the stage door - it was a matinee and I wasn't sure they would come out between shows (and it was too cold to wait outside anyway). But I would like to go back if I get a chance with my original playbill from both The Apple Tree as well as this one.
The show was not sold out.. but almost. However, I was able to get a rush ticket with no line at all. At 10 am, there was just me and one other couple. Row F orchestra, towards the side but full view. Perfect.
Alan Alda will never come out for fans at the stage door.

And if he did, he sure as hell ain't signing.

I personally don't really care about signing. I would have just liked to see him...and show him that I had both playbills.
Maybe you'll catch him in a good mood one day. But I find him to be a truly unpleasant person to be around, especially if he thinks you're a "fan".
