Missing this would be a crime.

I was hoping that we would get the London production of Speed the Plow (with Kevin Spacey and Jeff Goldblum), but this is just as good.
Jeremy Piven is a legend, and with Jeffrey Richards producing you almost know its going to be a great production.

Piven is fantastic.
Just please NO Jessica Alba! Pretty please.

Posted: 4/23/08 at 1:06amI could see it take the Jacobs, the Booth, or possibly (if November is closed by then) the Barrymore

OoOh, The Jacobs? That'd be fun!
One of THE BEST houses on B'way, IMHO.

Posted: 4/23/08 at 6:38amI guess that kills all hope for the Spacey-Goldblum fan. I'm totally cool with Jeremy Piven though.

Posted: 4/23/08 at 6:47amPiven's already being typecast. It's the exact same kind of role he plays on Entourage.

Jeremy Piven is a legend
Since when? I mean, I know he's popular, but he needs at least another 30 years of top Hollywood status before he would even be considered a "legend".

Sorry Mister Matt,
By "legend" I meant "very good actor, who will do an excellent job in the role."
