Honestly Jason Biggs is the male version of Kristen Stewart. Both of them are very lifeless and robotic in every role they do.

Pinkham would just be moving across the street if it takes the Longacre.
I wonder when he's leaving Gentleman's Guide. This is great casting!!

I hope it plays the Little Shubert so it closes in a week!
No one should have to pay to see this god awful play again.
No one should have to get comps and sit thru the first act before leaving at intermission.

I can think of a good drinking game! Everytime a review uses the word "dated" !

No worries. The Scoop role isn't that big of a challenge. It's not that well written.

If Pinkham knows what he's doing, he could get a supporting Tony nom off the Peter role.

Wasn't this a hit in the infamous '88-'89 season? I seem to remember the reviews at the time were to the slightly exhausted tune of "Well...Joan Allen is wonderful and it's better than anything else playing right now."

I gave up on Wasserstein when she started portraying women of a younger (i.e. non-Boomer) generation as vapid ciphers (SISTERS ROSENSWEIG and AN AMERICAN DAUGHTER).

I've taught this play, and I think the more I read it and teach it, the less it actually works for me. In terms of feminism, it can't really hold a candle to the complexity and nuance and power of Caryl Churchill's TOP GIRLS. Still, the role of Heidi is a good role for a great actress, and I adore Elisabeth Moss. I haven't seen her stage work, my understanding is that the role in SPEED-THE-PLOW isn't that well-written, so maybe she'll shine more with a better role.
Jason Biggs is so...blah. There's always twenty other people I'd rather see play any role I've seen him in, including the role in ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK.

Both of the men are pretty bland, but I'd still see it. Can't imagine this will be a "hot ticket" though.

I don't know much about Bryce Pinkham, but Moss and Biggs are well-cast.
