I can't say I'm not sorry to see him go.
Guess he got a better gig.
I hope it doesn't close early.
If you really want to help the American theater, don't be an actress, dahling. Be an audience.....
Don't be taken in by the guff that critics are killing the theater. Commonly they sin on the side of enthusiasm. Too often they give their blessing to trash...

Posted: 6/7/05 at 2:19pmHe left to shoot the remake of Poseidon Adventure. I'll leave it to you to work out if that's a better gig or not. I am intrigued as to who the unnamed star actor they're in negotiations with to take over is though.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Posted: 6/7/05 at 2:26pmI think that Jonny Lee Miller would be great. I'm anxious to see who they've got.

Posted: 6/7/05 at 2:28pmWell it ain't Jonny Lee Miller. He's currently in Someone To Watch Over Me in London.

Popcultureboy, I thought you were surely joking about a remake of The Poseidon Adventure. Fearing that maybe it was not a joke, I web searched it. OMG, it's true. How many actresses are taking on Shelley Winters old role of Yente?
If they ever make a musical out of it,Mary Testa is a shoo-in.

Posted: 6/7/05 at 3:51pmDallas roberts would be good but Jessica wouldn't be having that now would she- didn't she get him fired originally?

I thought they had posted the closing notice.
Would a "star" in a one scene role in the second act boost the box office? If Lange and Slater can't get the box office going, I don't know anyone that they could possibly get to sign on for a couple weeks who could.

Thank God he's gone. He was awful in the role.
Didn't they originally want Ethan Hawke for the Gentleman Caller? Obviously, that can't happen, but it would be a nice thought.
