Does anyone know what if anything is happening with plans for the Public Theater's presentation of "The Visit" with Frank Langella and Chita Rivera? I had heard it was shelved...can anyone confirm or deny?
Anxious to see Langella again after his hilarious turn in "Fortune's Fool".

The production lost outside it's enhancement money and the Public has had to cancel or at least postpone the production.
Kander and Ebb tried to convince Roundabout to pick up the show for spring (instead of Assassins) but Roundabout opted for Sondheim over Kander and Ebb.

PEACE.

Thanks for the info, SueleenGay. What amazing news! It's been way too long since a McNally play, and this is exciting casting.

Diary of a Mad Housewife was such a cool movie. I can still hear RIchard Benjamin calling his wife Tina, Teeeeeeen.
Frank was so gorgeous. sexy and evil.
