Altman to direct last Miller play in London.

The article says it will be the first time he has directed for the stage in London, but I didn't even know he had directed for the stage anywhere. I thought he was strictly a movie animal.

I believe he directed Cher et al in "Come back to the Five and Dime Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean" back in the 80s". I could be wrong... can't think of anything else he has done on Broadway. Although he has directed twice at Chicago Lyric Opera - both William Bolcom operas, one "McTeague" and one based on Altman's film "A Wedding".

Altman did a masterful job with the stage production of Come back to the 5 and Dime....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Finishing the Picture, which was written and produced in Chicago last year, and not Resurrection Blues Miller's last play?

I know Mr.Miller was working on a redraft on Resurrection at the time of his death, so maybe that's why they call it his 'last'. Or maybe they made a mistake!

Orpheum - how DARE you imply that the press could ever make a mistake!

And, of course, now I remember the 5 AND DIME. Interesting about the operas.
