Would have preferred Metcalf in the role but this show has been begging for a revival. Excited to say the least!

YES! This is one of my all time FAVORITE plays. It's so powerful and timely. I can't wait for this.

Tyne is going to be INTENSE and it’s gonna be glorious.

Tyne will crush this. She was born for this role. She can use her Cagney & Lacey accent. Liev is perfect casting. Now they just need to cast the other two parts with actors who will sell tickets.

I agree that Tyne Daly makes the revival worth doing.

My thoughts, in order, when hearing this:
1) It's too soon for a revival of Doubt.
2) Wait, it's really been 18 years? When did I get so old?
3) Please don't let Roundabout ruin this masterpiece.....

It's tough on the brain this morning seeing a Josh Harmon play be announced by MTC (a person who was nurtured by Roundabout).....and a John Patrick Shanley/MTC play being revived by Roundabout!
Tyne and Liev wouldn't be the first or even 10th people I'd think of for this, but they should be great

Yes I feel old now too since I remember the play back in 2005 and the movie in 2008. Love Tyne Daly and Liev Schreiber! I thought they would have cast role of Father Flynn to someone who is of Irish/Catholic background and slightly younger (actor in his late 30s/40s). It's also interesting how Brian O'Byrne (original Broadway cast), Phillip Seymour Hoffman (starred in the 2008 movie), and Liev Schreiber were all born in 1967.
Looking forward to watching this in early 2024!!!

This is VERY exciting! Can't wait to see who else rounds out this cast.

OMG
Daly is SUCH an exciting casting. I cannot even picture how she'll play the part, because she has such a wide arsenal of strengths in her toolkit. Love me some Schreiber, but at least in his case, I can already *see* what his portrayal would look like - I am imagining his characterizations from Spotlight translating perfectly to this role.
Other cast members will not make or break this show for me, I'd watch it for Daly alone.
Caption: Every so often there was a rare moment of perfect balance when I soared above him.

Are they still planning on doing Home in the spring? Because if so, it feels like this would have a rather short run.
Also it's interesting that they haven't announced anything for Studio 54, do we know if anything is in the works?

I am just praying they don't change it too much because the original was fantastic. I was lucky to see it with the original cast and Cherry Jones was awesome!! I love how the play leaves it up to you to decide if Father Flynn was guilty, hence the title "Doubt" is quite fitting. I believe it was NY Times that reviewed "Doubt" again when the original cast was replaced. The reviewer (not sure if it was Brantley) said the original cast made him feel one way about whether Father Flynn was innocent or guilty. Reviewer than said the replacement cast put a different spin on the play that made him feel different about the innocence or guilt of Father Flynn than the first time he saw the play.
I am expecting Tyne Daly to knock her role out of the park, can't wait to hear reports about the show when it opens.

Am i getting this right: in one day, we are learning of a slew of exciting new works at the Public (new Alicia Keys musical with Sho Bean and Brandon Victor Dixon, new play by Itamar Moses with Josh Radnor), AND a transfer of Prayer for French Republic to Bway, AND AND AND a Doubt revival? Its too much good stuff all at once.

A guy can dream this extends and transfers for a commercial production, let’s rotate stars as Aloysius a la Dolly. The thought of Toni Colette…
Still excited for Tyne!

"Tyne and Liev wouldn't be the first or even 10th people I'd think of for this, but they should be great"
Just curious, who would you suggest?

We should give Tyne the Tony now - no doubt this will be the performance of a lifetime. She was born to play this role. I can not wait.
I'm not crazy about the idea of Schreiber in the role of Flynn - I, too, am thinking a more Irish / Catholic looking actor and age wouldn't matter (I think older would actually be better as a long-serving beloved priest). First person I thought of was actor John Slattery who would be 61 in the role.

Schreiber has real range. Just think of his Glengarry Glen Ross Tony-winning turn, and then his most recent masterwork as Otto Frank in that Hulu Series. Can't wait to see what he will do with this.... and remember, he is a bit of a Name. See, e.g., Ray Donovan.

Now let’s get Laurie Metcalf’s “Virginia Woolf” back so we can have another “Doubt”/“Woolf” showdown like we had in 2005.
