Very exciting to have her back on stage! I don't even care what the heck the play is about, I'm there.
Also exciting because this firmly puts to bed the rumor of Mystic Pizza taking Studio 54.
Sweaty Oracle called this one.
We are being FED with Broadway news today.
They haven’t even loaded in and somehow I’m already SAT!
Interesting to pick Studio 54. Seems like a good sized house for Smart to try and fill up.

Three new Broadway announcements within an hour was too much for the BWW servers to handle!
This really makes me happy. I would see Jean Smart do anything, she is beyond brilliant
Has pricing been announced yet? Trying to figure out the budget as I really want to see this.
The box office opens this Monday, May 5 at 10 AM.
To commemorate Jean Smart's first Broadway credit in 25 years, $25 tickets will be made available to the first 100 people on line, valid for the first two previews ONLY. Maximum of 2 tix per person.
I'm hoping they either come out with a promo code. Full priced tkts are a little pricey for this.
Does anyone actually know what this play is about? The description on the show's website is vague at best.

From Playbill: "The work tracks a woman in rural Louisiana who's trapped in an abusive marriage who finds possible escape through writing poetry."

Terribly generic artwork for this one and tough to make a splash when previews begin in late May.
It's being described as "darkly comedic", wonder how funny it will actually be considering the subject matter.

I generally agree with you -- but if anyone can make it funny, it's Jean Smart.
