CONFIRMED: Mescal to bring Frecknall-helmed STREETCAR to New York — Page 2

Agreed, their performances (particularly that of Anjana Vasan as Stella overshadowed his). I'm not sure how NYC would react to this production, though. I wasn't entirely sold by it, although the London critics were. I can't remember what it was now, but I remember there were some cuts to the text (particularly in the final scene) that annoyed me.

I believe at one point Meghann Fahy was rumored for Blanche (I’m mid on that), but that was when it was rumored Mescal was being replaced with Taron Egerton

This is all about Mescal. Sounds like they wisely decided to wait it out.

This will definitely need a new Blanche BUT if they are staging this again in London pre NYC, they will invariably have to ask Ferran again. Let’s hope she’s busy

Well if you’ve never seen a production of it you liked, this one sure won’t change your mind. Frecknall doing the “my vision is a bare stage with hardly any lighting and the world shall say i am brilliant” and it just doesn’t work (for me).

Have the BAM dates been confirmed?

It willl be the same London cast.

two ladies tickets said: "Yes, it's now up on the BAM website. February 28 through April 6. The West End remount finishes on February 22 so that is a very tight turnaround for everyone involved."

When do tickets go on sale?

On sale 11/20 for members:

Ok cool! Patsy Ferran's Broadway debut was Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf back in spring 2020. Great to see she's back in NYC.

BTW, did they film this production while it was on the West End?

Yeah I am also excited for the Threepenny

No. Some on the UK board are pretty confident the London run will be filmed before the transfer.


Also, here is Matt Wolf's NYT review (gift lilnk) of the original Almeida run.

I would say these dates are extremely firm.
