This is very exciting. I think Mark is a great actor and i am excited to see him back on the stage.

Ruffalo's performance in THIS IS OUR YOUTH was one of the best I've seen in the past decade. So happy he's decided to come back to the stage (where he belongs). Man, that's a LOT of firepower on one stage -- Ruffalo, Zoe Wanamaker, Ben Gazzara, Jonathan Hadary ..... (Pablo Schreiber may get eaten alive). Can't wait to see this!

Mark Ruffalo, Zoe Wanamaker and Lauren Ambrose ALL on the same stage? It's a dream come true.

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.

This really is shaping up to be a bonafide theatrical event. If it gets good reviews, it could very well be a dark horse contender for the Best Revival Tony. I can't wait!

Oh how I wish I could get back to NYC to see "Awake and Sing." I absolutely love Mark Ruffalo! I loved him in "You Can Count on Me" and "Thirteen Going on Thirty"!

I was actually wondering something about this.

The previews begin March 23th? Do you guys think they would do that stage door thing after the previews? I don't think I'll be able to afford to see the show, but I would give anything to meet Mark Ruffalo. I've been a fan of his ever since I saw The Last Castle. He's an incredible actor.

What do you guys think?

I could see this the first week of previews. Should I go for it?

P.S. Mark Ruffalo rocks.

I had never heard of Mark Ruffalo until two years ago when he was a speaker at a journalism conference I went to. (I didn't go to his talk... )

But I do have a story!

Most of the girls I went with (and I mean girls) had a crush on him. Apparently at the elevator bank, one said, "Mmm, I want Mark Ruffalo to lick my nipples!" And then realized he was down at the other end and had heard everything. She got in an elevator real quick...

Are the previews in NY, or where are they?

Ok. I'm sorry I'm freaking out, but if I get the chance I really really would like to meet Mark Ruffalo

So,

1) Are the previews going to be in NYC, or in LA or something?
2) If they're in NYC, does anybody know if the cast will stage door?

Thats all I need. thanks.

1) Awake and Sing! is a production by Lincoln Center Theatre that will be playing a limited engagement at Broadway's Belasco Theatre (44th Street), so obviously previews will be there and not in LA (?).

2) Ummmmmm...... unless they're sleeping in the theatre (unlikely) or have some magical ability to travel via teleportation or something, one would presume that after each show is over (except maybe for Wednesday and Saturday matinees), each member of the cast will want to leave the theatre - likely via the stage door -- and go home, go to dinner etc..... so if you're standing there as they come out with a pen and program etc... one would assume they would be willing to sign whatever.

I just came back from a performance of Awake and Sing. (at the Arena Stage in Washington, DC) I'm surprised at the role that Mark is playing, (Moe Axelrod) since he's usually plays the nicer guy role- at least on screen I haven't seen him on stage.

Anyway, I think that the role will be a great way for him to show his versatility.

There's a lot I am not certain of...
