Posted: 7/5/10 at 12:30pmIt's the London company which will feature Sahr Ngaugah. The choices for NT Live series two aren't that interesting overall. No desire for another Hamlet or Cherry Orchard.

Posted: 7/5/10 at 1:11pmIt's true - except I don't think it's the Broadway cast.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

The only cast member listed on the site is Sahr. it mentions nothing about it being "complte with the Broadway cast".
Here is the link. You can click on "Cast & Creative" but it seems that their special website for the show isn't up yet. I couldn't get into it:

No. I've got a brain as well. Which means I can read, speak and understand English. Hence...
"All I asked for was a link."
No you didn't. You implied you didn't believe the OP on the face value of their post, when the facts of the matter could have easily been verified.
And that makes you an idiot.

Speak for yourself, Yankeefan. Hamlet and The Cherry Orchard never get old, and I think FELA! being shown in the same season is quite an honor. They are both works of genius.

Posted: 7/6/10 at 7:30amAs much as I love the show, I think a lot will get lost when filmed. This is definitely a show that needs to be seen live.
