Anybody hearing anything about this Jack O'Brien-helmed production, which is scheduled to begin previews at the Newhouse on 2/13/25? Given that that's only two months away, I'm surprised there's been no on-sale date or casting announced.
Completely forgot about this! And even odder that it starts a month before Floyd Collins and they haven't even alerted members to a ticket on-sale date when the one for Collins was last week
I don’t think anything can ever top (for me) Lesley Manville’s production at BAM a couple years ago but I have faith LCT can do something great. Cynthia Nixon would be really interesting. For some reason, Laura Linney keeps popping in my head as someone I’d love to see do this.
Leslie Melville was hypnotic in the BAM revival. Even though I was way back at the theatre I was mesmerized by her performance. Billy Howle gave also a stunning performance as her son. I really love that production.
I thought that this was going to be the cast of the Abbey Theater production of Mark O'Rowe's adaptation. I would actually love to see Cathy Belton as Mrs. Alving... but Deirdre O'Connell or Elizabeth Marvel would be okay too. Maybe even Ruthie Ann Miles? But from LTC's recent castings, it will probably be a starry-star-star with a lucrative B.O. smell.
