Him and Radcliffe/Cannavale too."



Also in the mix are Michael Urie, Ethan Hawke (TRUE WEST), Lucas Hedges/Michael Cera (THE WAVERLY GALLERY), the cast of INK. There was also an announced revival of BURN THIS with Adam Driver). It'llbe a crowded field."

Paddy Considine should also get some consideration for The Ferryman.

BroadwayBear2 said: "CONFIRMATION FoodWork will be coming as part of the Broadway transfer of Netowkr. Telecharge just update the seating mall and it includes the onstage area.

I cant figure out how to add pictures from my phone. But I promise, it's there."

I'm not sure if the new seating chart confirms that Foodwork will be involved. It might just be on-stage seating, nothing more.

Seems like strange casting... weren't those the roles played by William Holden and Faye Dunaway. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the actress. Heard that Cranston will be alternating 7 and 8 performances a week, like Kathleen Turner did years ago in "Virginia Woolf".

I think Cranston gave 22 weeks to All the Way and that was a 3 hour marathon performances. Did he only do 7 a week? This will be a tough one to recoup since a friend at the National said the capitalization is 7 million (plus?). Is the Belasco a much bigger theatre than the Cort. I've sat in the balcony in both theatres and the Cort is much more intimate. Surprised to hear that there's a switch. Has "Band" announced its departure?

Roles played by Douglas Henshall and Michelle Dockery, big names in London. Wonder if the dining area will be used."

Thrilled for Tatiana, although I would have died for Michelle in this. Do you know why she couldn't do it?

The original production included a full service restaurant on stage. called FoodWorks

Love Network, love Ivo Van Hove, can't stand Brian Cranston.

If Tatiana Maslany is on board, you got me front row.

Pretty low.

persephone88 said: "Also interested in seating recommendations. I have a friend who is a huge Cranston superfan and she is torn between going for onstage seating (not sure how the view is from a back table) and going for an aisle seat in Orch in the hopes of stage dooring after the show. Does anyone know if Cranston typically stagedoors? I've warned her that the stagedoor line is likely to be a madhouse, and I doubt she'd get to a decent spot on the line if she were seated onstage, if they do the dining option. She is really hoping to get to meet him or get a program signed afterwards. Suggestions?"

No idea if this would be replicated for NETWORK, but at ALL THE WAY, the security team separated out people who had actually seen the show from those who had not into different sides of the Simon's stage door. (That might be hard to do at Belasco.) Cranston then came out through the lobby doors and everyone was then basically in a line to go up to him individually to get an autograph and have your picture taken with him. It was a really nice experience.
