What are the chances of Scott Foley actually coming to Broadway with this? Is SCANDAL going to be starting late due to Washington's pregnancy? (According to the article, Danner is the only person currently attached to both the LA and Broadway productions)

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Looking forward to seeing this in LA. If I'm not mistaken, this same trajectory was used with Donald Margulies TiME STANDS STILL where it debuted at The Geffen and then transferred to Broadway.

Great cast

Great show and incredibly acted with exquisite set design. Blythe Danner gives a great nuanced performance - not an incredibly showy role but she was excellent as was the entire cast.

The second act went in a bit of a different direction than what I was expecting. Don't know if it was entirely cohesive.

But I enjoyed the show and it's worth seeing...I think that Marguilles will work on the script a bit to tightened it up

AC, I'm not sure when SCANDAL returns. It's scheduled to premiere in the fall on the same night as GREY'S ANATOMY and the Viola Davis-led HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER, so I don't think it'll start late enough for Foley to get a break. I'm still wondering about the Broadway cast for this one.

"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
