Fall shows ... What are you looking forward to most?

I guess I'm most excited for The Snow Geese and curious about Gentlemen's Guide. At least they are both new and have the opportunity to surprise.

Lots of play revivals, and no doubt Rylance will put on a show in his two Shakespeare productions, but we've seen almost all of the revivals so frequently in the last 5 years alone that it's hard to drum up too much excitement for them.

On the musical side things look a bit grim unfortunately. It's sad for me to see so little original music being presented. As newintown pointed out upthread, it's all revues and jukebox musicals. We have musicals, but without new composers.
Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco. Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

Fall shows ... What are you looking forward to most?

What excites me most about the Rylance double-bill, honestly, isn't even the chance to see one of the greatest actors working anywhere in the world (in two shows, no less!) What excites me most is that this represents Shakespeare's Globe's first Broadway production as a company. They are a tremendous and unique theatre company, whose style and voice is refreshingly distinct. I haven't seen a lot of their work (KING LEAR back when I was in London years ago, and clips of RICHARD II w/Rylance, HENRY V and MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING which are all on YouTube) but everything I've seen has been utterly thrilling. I hope their Broadway bow is a great success, if only to encourage them to come over more often.
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.
