Laurie Metcalf will play Kate Jerome in the repertory revivals of BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS and BROADWAY BOUND. David Cromer directs the Neil Simon revivals.

Great. ANOTHER show to add to my overly long list of shows to see. I thought there was a recession and B'way was dead?

This has got to be a joke. Metcalf as the mother? Oh what a horror.

Laurie Metcalf - about as Jewish as Blythe Danner!

I'm not knocking Metcalf's acting. She is a very competent actress. She doesn't have the warmth to bring to the character and the character's humor will come across as bitterness.
