Right? They aren't keeping that theater dark that long. It's too viable. Let's use our brains, folks. It's crazy some of the rumors you all fall for. Warriors is taking this theater.

So someone will put a play with a movie star there in the fall.

I feel like Brendan Hunt's solo show could be a decent fall filler if the Lunt-Fontanne doesn't have a potentially longer-running tenant in the wings. (I refuse to believe Sweaty and long ago blocked him on all platforms.)
Or, it could secure the more intimate Horne if SIX decides to close soon.

Hough isn't right for Lola. And she's no a good singer. I've heard NPH is all but finalized at this point. Would McClure settle for being his standby?

I know that they need to sell tickets, but not having Rob as Applegate would be such a shame. He was absolutely electric in the role in DC. Truly a Tony-worthy performance.

NPH has proven to be a very reliable box office draw and it's a good role for him- albeit one that seems like he could do in his sleep- so it makes sense. Sucks for McClure, but it's obvious this revival will need star power and Applegate is the easiest role for a name.

Wow the immediate turn off this became lol. I was interested with the last cast.

Up here in Boston, both Black Swan (A.R.T.) and Paranormal Activity (Emerson Colonial) finish up in July, with the latter already billed as a pre-Broadway run. Maybe one or both could swoop in?

A friend of mine who knows Sergio Trujillo said that Matthew Broderick was also considered for Applegate. I don’t know if he ever got into negotiations, or how far the “consideration” went, but apparently he was in the running. That would be horrible casting, IMO.

Broderick has become the very rare performer whose casting will make me avoid seeing productions.

I have always loathed him on screen, but never got an opportunity to see him perform on stage until a season or two ago when he played the title character in Babbit at Shakespeare Theatre Company in DC. I went to see it out of pure curiosity, and it confirmed what I'd always thought. He was dreadful (as was the production as a whole). I am in agreement that he will keep me away from a show.
