She does realize that Neil simon had trouble finding an audience last fall, right?

Those are 3 very big names (2 of them being Oscar winners). I don't see a reason why this production shouldn't be given an oppurtunity to open in New York.
...everyone was doing the mambo and drinking golden cadillacs...

Yes. Another goddamn British import. Are we REALLY going to have the xenophobia thing AGAIN? -_-

At least say bloody British import. And take down that ugly avatar.

What a very odd thread.
Are we worried this means some competing, home-grown production of "Prisoner of 2nd Avenue" won't make it to Broadway now?
Also, it's not as if it's starring Richard Briers and Penelope Keith.

A British import? Is that a bad thing? If memory serves, there have been an extraordinary number of very good British imports & an extraordinary number of American duds. And vice versa. What's your goddamn point?

I agree, damn these British imports, which (in the most part) happen to form up some of the most succesful Broadway musicals...

Link isn't working for me either, it takes me to the home page of the site.

I was under the impression that this got very mixed notices in--bow your head--London.
"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.”

Wicked is a British import?

The link does work, it's just a bitty BWW story on it somewhere on that page if you search for a minute and a half and know what you're looking for. Below is the Times story. I'd see this in a New York minute. I would love to see that cast.
Very funny, Borstalboy, and yes, Reg, I noticed the "Let's meet an offense with a greater offense" (now with specious logic!) ploy ClapYo'Hands chose to utilise (note British spelling!), too.
eta the plea not to turn this into a British vs American thing

I wasn't judging Clap's post; I literally didn't know what was meant.
Got it now, though.
Borstal, that's a different (and perfectly valid) point. Still, I have to admit I'm curious.

A British import involving two American actors starring in an American-written play that wouldn't be produced first in NY. Damn them.

Wow, why the hostility there, buddy? It's ok, and it will likely be very good.

And they're Hollywood actors too...oh the humanity!!! All good actors if they can make it fly...more power to them. And there are plenty of American imports playing over there. I didn't realize it had become an us or them thing.

God damn the Brits. Importing HOLLYWOOD ACTORS in roles that could be played by HUNTER FOSTER.

Saw this show last Saturday and I actually thought to myself that it's a very American type of play. Can't really say why, just a feeling. I think that it could have a successful run in NY and that people would truly enjoy it. Ruehl and Goldblum are both excellent, by the way.

This thread makes no sense. Why is the original poster so upset about three American actors coming over to Broadway?? Besides, I'd watch paint dry if Mercedes Ruehl was involved.
