The article says Primary Stages, actually. Not Playwrights Horizons. But thrilling news!

Oooh! Very exciting indeed!

mmmm! This should be a wonderful show! I loved Angela twice in Sweeney Todd, and I also saw Marion in Deathtrap and the Charles Busch Mame (she was hilarious). I'm SO looking forward to this night at the theatre.

This is worth flying to New York for.


Now all we need, is to get her to do "The Visit".

It's thrilling to have these two ladies back on stage.
I just hope Terrence has written something worthy of them.

His last two efforts - DEDICATION and SOME MEN - have been weak sisters, the former given life only by Seldes & Lane.

Any word yet on if it is limited or not? If so, how long will it run?

This season is shaping up to be the best in many years. So fantastic!

Looks like I'm going to have to do some stage door stalking...I have playbills from DEAR WORLD, MAME, SWEENEY TODD, and GYPSY I would love to have her sign.
