Blithe Spirit Takes the Shubert — Page 2

Just performed this play last year as Charles Condomine! I love it and I cannot wait to see this production!

Oh, I think this cast and this fun show can fill the Shubert!

Now we all know Hair is going into the Herschfeld so that ends that discussion. True a play hasn't been seen at the Schubert since the seventies but it is a high profile house on a high profile corner with a high profile cast. Seems to me it's in a prime location and will be quite successful. In my opinion the Schubert is a very intimate house despite it's two balconies and 1,468 seats. The Neil Simon to me is a much more open auditorium and lends itself to more expansive shows. (Given the open air setting of central park, why wouldn't the Neil Simon be a good fit for Hair?)

also, I saw Deuce and it was a lousy play with two Major actresses. They deserved better material so it's no wonder they couldn't fill the house. Madame Arkaty (sp?) seems a much better fit for Ms. Lansbury.

The title of this thread sounds to me like the perfect name for a 60s screwball sex farce!

A play hasn't played the "martin beck" for the past 5 years.

(and I think it's a shame they renamed the Martin Beck. When I was there I was reading the thing about Martin Beck and it seems so rude. I mean, the man built the theater with his own money, etc, and then they just go and rename the theater. That's rude)
