This cast does not quit! What a group.

It feels like this season's Normal Heart, with all the big names.

Gah! This is incredible. Eric is so talented. This is definitely going to be a hot ticket in the spring.

What a fantastic cast! McCormack is a very talented actor and Lansbury of course is a legend. Can't wait!

A great cast! I'm a big fan of Vidal's work (well, his less didactic work anyway), and just said in another thread how I think any good play can be revived without feeling dated... But I do wonder if Best Man will seem dated now, even if some of its themes are as relevant, if not more, than ever.

(When is someone gonna do a Myra Breckinridge musical already? :) )

this is really an all-star line-up. not a big fan of this play, but I may have to revisit it if possible. any thoughts to what theatre it'll play. Maybe the Barrymore, Lyceum or Cort??


A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Death of a Salesman is going to the Barrymore this spring, and if The Lyons is transfering like they say they are, I can see it going into the Lyceum, like most of the other Vineyard transfers.

Yay! Read the news in the middle of a meeting and had to work hard to contain my excitement. Can't wait! Wonder which Shubert house it'll go into . . .

I would say either The Longacre or The Cort depending if either Stick Fly or Chinglish close in January.

If it's between the Cort or Longacre, I'd pick the Longacre.

Reidel mentioned in his column two weeks ago that this show is the backup tenant for the Schoenfeld.

I'm pretty sure both the Cort and Longacre are booked for the spring already.
