One of the best productions of any show in the last few years, IMO. I hope it transfers. But doubt it will. Blanchett must be busy with upcoming movies and whatnot, no?

Posted: 12/14/09 at 10:53pmDoes anyone actually think it will? Maybe for like a strictly limited few months? I mean, if it does, we know she will win any and every award possible. I guess it depends on how badly she wants a Tony.

Posted: 12/14/09 at 11:01pmIs it bad that I hope it does for the selfish reason of really wanting to see it?

Posted: 12/14/09 at 11:28pmThe NYTimes.com article linked above says it wouldn't come before summer, 2010, at the earliest.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Their reason for bringing it to Broadway would be if it were profitable for the company. If they bring it to Broadway for a limited engagement, it will sell out just like BAM's run and turn a profit for them. I think it's a good idea, financially. Not to mention a good idea in terms of another audience that would get to see this production.
I hope the scheduling conflicts and Equity issues that are sure to ensue can be worked out to get this production to Broadway. I kick myself everyday for not getting those $35 tickets when I had the chance.

I watched an interview with Blanchett where she was asked it this would transfer to Broadway and she gave a flat out definitive "No".

Posted: 12/15/09 at 1:27ami saw an interview with her as well where she said she would do it if the entire australian cast could transfer and that it was an 'equity issue.'

I'm not holding my breath, but I really want this to happen. I can't believe I'm missing what promises to be one of the most talked about performances in a classic American play for a while by one of the best actresses alive.
Everyone keep their fingers crossed.

Posted: 12/18/09 at 5:45pmIt would probably have to be arranged to be done in the months Cate has off from being AD to do films. Also, she couldn't do six months (like is stated as required in the first article) starting Summer 2010, because she's doing Uncle Vanya in Sydney opening November 2010. It seems like it would be too much to organise while she is AD of the STC.
