Jim Parsons, Katie Holmes, Zoey Deutch to Star in ‘Our Town’ Revival on Broadway

By my calculations the estate only has 9 years left before the copyright expires and thus enters the public domain. Having a recent Broadway production might inspire more regional theaters to mount productions in the coming years, and get the family some more income before time runs out.

1000%, and I feel like Parsons and Holmes would be a much better match as the Webb's too. Odd choices there.

Yes, my thought, too! Thomas seems to old for Webb, at nearly 73, he seems far better suited for the SM.



I truly adored Cromer's version (however many years ago now) and have my doubts that this can live up to my my very visceral experience with that.....but I'll let them try!



Oh, I didn't realize Mother Play was a limited run!

When you're a Jet, you're a Jet from your first strip of bacon, to you're last dying day?

To this day, seeing Cromer’s “Our Town” at The Hypocrits in Chicago is one of my favorite experiences inside a theatre I’ve ever had. And every so often the smell of Bacon brings me back to that very specific moment in time and in my life. I was actually in rehearsals for a Cromer directed WSS as a Jett when it was annnounced it would be transferring to NY. Crazy to think what has become of his career since then. Not at all unexpected from us who “knew him when” but glad the rest of the world got to witness his Genius.

Why do I already hate this production?

Jim Parsons is prominently featured, but he still isn't above the title. If I was seeing this for any particular actor I'd maybe wait until closer to a performance date to buy tickets since there's no guarantee no one gets the flu etc through the Autumn.

That "artwork" is pretty darn awful. Also, is Katie Holmes not a draw anymore? Where is her name?"



No, Katie is not a draw. Also I would imagine that if they bill her, it would trigger the need to bill some of the other actors, as well.

A newfound appreciation of the beauty of the mundane details of life?

And whatever the gift is, in keeping with the show, it's entirely pantomimed.

Jim Parsons scheduled for Colbert tonight.

Good lord. The madness continues. The greed knows no bounds.

Onstage seating is usually partial view, so I’m not sure what’s going to be different to justify this price tag"

They'll be some light interaction with the cast. So, if people want Jim, Katie, Zoey, etc to look at them or people want to see them really up close, these are the seats for you.
