From one show to another.

Jessica Hecht will play Beatrice and Santino Fontana will play Rodolpho in the revival of A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE. Michael Cristofer will play Alfieri.

Perfect choices. Nice article.

Santino Fontana made his Broadway debut in February of last year and already he's made it into leading roles in four (five if you count Broadway Bound) shows.

Who's he f***ing?
Just kidding. He's talented.

Hecht is ideal for Beatrice...in fact, she was my second choice when I was mentally casting this show (behind Elizabeth Marvel). Fontina is also a great young talent. Cristofer has a tendency to ham it up, but that could actually be a strength in the role of Alfieri.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

I guess Fontana will be dying his hair for this.

I'm very happy for both Jessica and Santino. They deserve to continue working. Now let's cross our fingers that Laurie Metcalf finds work soon too.

The next thing he should be in Ragtime as Younger Brother, I think he'd be fantastic!

Schreiber, Hecht, Fontana, Cristofer - and Johansson. The mind boggles.

Faced with these Loreleis, what man can moralize!
