Posted: 9/29/21 at 11:21amWe learned nothing in 2020. God forbid they produce new work. God forbid actors use their power to perform it. Zzzzzz.

Anything else.

Sam Gold has been on a real miss streak lately.
Excited to see how he will mess this up!

Yep if this is anything like his King Lear it’s a hard pass from me. I’ll wait for reviews, because I do love this cast. But a strong cast can only do so much.

Ruth Negga: Wow! I can't wait for this!
Sam Gold: UGHHHHHHHH

Posted: 9/29/21 at 11:58amUnfortunately now isn't the time to be doing new plays etc. Theatre needs bums on seats, so known crowd pleasers and big names are what's needed to encourage people back into theatres.

I get all of the pushback against the property and the director but can we just pause for a moment and ponder the filling of the post-Rudin void that some were so worried about? A Rudin-less Broadway is not a rudderless Broadway, and we are better for his absence on so many levels.

After what Sam Gold did with King Lear, I'm not too sure about this.

Jordan, I desperately want a revival of The Goat….. With Idris Elba and Mary Louise Parker.

Anyway, count me in for this one! By all means, everyone else sit this out so I can get tickets more easily! :)

This can absolutely be the time for new plays when you have Daniel Craig and Ruth Negga headlining it.

Daniel Craig is the name here, and people would see him in anything. So it's unfortunate that it had to be THIS play. This will be Broadway's 5th Macbeth since 2000, and it is coming right on the heels of the Joel Coen film version with Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand.
I'm glad he wants to do theatre. I am a big supporter of movie stars doing theatre and bringing in new audiences. And I understand that new plays can be scary. But like Denzel, Jackman, Viola Davis, Pacino, Streep, etc. audiences would flock to *any* play he decided to do.
(Ruth Negga is a wonderful talent but is less of an "event" than Craig when it comes to ticket sales.)

There's this new-fangled thing on the interwebs called Google. Maybe try that?

So yet another version of Macbeth somehow illustrates that Broadway isn't rudderless? Sure, Jan.
