"Antonio Banderas — currently promoting his film "Take the Lead" — has boasted that his return to the Broadway stage will be next year in Don Juan DeMarco, a David Leveaux-directed musical version of the namesake film."
Sweet. Hopefully I'll get to see him this time around since I missed him in Nine.

Posted: 4/6/06 at 3:54amAntonio seems so cocky, anyone else gets that vibe from him?

He was so nice in NINE I saw it twice.
I get the opposite vibe.
He seems sweet and down to Earth.
Can't wait for the rematch of Leveaux/Banderas.

Posted: 4/6/06 at 10:38amNot cocky at all. He's a doll. But then there's his wife...

Posted: 4/6/06 at 10:53amThe women who were in NINE absolutely ADORED Antonio - he treated all of them like princesses AND never missed a show. Maybe he seems cocky, but I don't think he's at all that way in person.

Posted: 4/6/06 at 10:59amToo many people confuse him with Chris Kattan's impersonation of him.

I could actually see this working as a musical.
I wonder if they'll ask Yeston to do it.
Then it will really be a NINE reunion.

Posted: 4/6/06 at 11:30amI am so pumped to hear this. I always liked Antonio Banderas, but after seeing him in Nine, I was just completely blown away. He was phenomenal, and I am so excited about his return. This is going to be good.

Posted: 4/6/06 at 12:37pmAs long as they don't use the movie's theme song, we'll be safe. In the hands of the right writers I think it could be nice.

Posted: 4/6/06 at 1:47pmIt's so strange...this is the last thread I read before going to sleep last night, and I actually dreamt about Antonio Banderas. What a good day this is!

I am excited about Antonio returning to Broadway. I enjoyed his performance in Nine quite a lot. However, what ever happened to him starring in the musical Death takes a Holiday? Is that project still in the works or is it dead?

Posted: 4/6/06 at 3:57pmAntonio is exciting news. My only worry is Leveaux.
