Do you think they'll cast it with a bunch of faux Brits, or real Brits? Or a mix?

Geraldine Page died during the last revival's run. I think they closed the show pretty abruptly after that.

Yay. Another revival of a worn-to-the-stump regional theatre standard.


Oh, well. The wasteland of plays on Broadway is really disconcerting.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

So, true, BB.

But it's all "new" to the masses who can't remember what they ate for breakfast this morning. ...Or the people who think "Noel Coward" was some dude who must have been scared by Christmas.

Revive the musical!

Christine Ebersole and Miranda Richardson to play the wives.

Ralph Fiennes as the husband.

Maggie Smith as Madame Arcati; get the Tony ready for her.
Do you know what happens when you let Veal Prince Orloff sit in an oven too long?

That would be a great cast. Now we are suppose to apologize for not being 100 yrs. old and seeing the original Broadway cast? Sheesh!

If it's good, it's good. I don't understand why so many of you think nothing original will turn up on stage? At least with the older stuff, it doesn't seem like a complete re-run of you just saw or worse, avoided at the Movie Theatre lately.

Some suggestions of what should be coming to the big stage from a book or off-Broadway is what I rather be reading from those of you right now. Maybe I missed the book?
