Lithgow, Weist, Holmes, Wilson to star in ALL MY SONS Revival — Page 3

Thanks for the info, nobodyhome. I never read "the Creation of the World and other Business." I can't believe I missed a Miller play. Just ordered it from amazon....

I'm glad to see SONS coming back to broadway, but some of the casting is a bit baffling. Now don't get me wrong Wilson and Lithgow are incredible actors all the way around, I'm a fan of both. But Wilson is just a bit too old for Chris. And Lithgow doesn't really scream blue collar working class rich. I think Lithgow has a smaller hurdle to jump and audiences will eat it up regardless, most people in the crowd aren't Miller scholars, or have even heard of this little done Miller. So while I'm excited for it, I'm also cautiously optimistic.

It will be interesting to see how much tv coverage this gets. (Inside Edition, ET, etc.)

I'm so glad to hear that Patrick Wilson's coming back to the stage.

I like this casting (minus holmes). But I still wish they had cast the father role with the original rumor of Robert Redford.

From Cindy Adam's Column in the NY Post:

Rehearsals begin this summer. After the Tonys there's a theater shakeout, so they'll know if it's the Belasco, Longacre, Walter Kerr, Barrymore, whatever. Wanted is a fairly large 1,200-seater. Opening's mid-October. They do not plan to up the ticket price. And hers is a limited 16-week engagement. "

Does that mean it will go longer with another actress?

According to this Access Hollywood article about "All My Sons", the play itself will be limited run.

NEW YORK, NY --

Katie Holmes is “perfect” for her upcoming role on Broadway, according to the producer of the show.


Rehearsals on the play begin this summer, with plans for an October opening.

The play will run for about 16 weeks and the Post reported that despite Holmes’ fame, there won’t be an increase in the ticket price.
