this is nothing but Scott Rudin ego on big display"
Notwithstanding, the lucky few of us will be having Christmas in March. :)
A ticket presale for this will begin on January 7 before general public onsale January 9.
Mantello/Lane/Metcalf...are you ****ing kidding me?!?
While this is wayyyy too soon for a revival, I'll be damned if I miss this cast and director! Lane's The Iceman Cometh was a remarkable feat, as was his Roy Cohen. I had thought, since seeing him at the Royal Court, that Lithgow got the Tony locked up once he hit Broadway (and I still believe that) but he has some real competition now. And Laurie, GD national treasure, she is!
Also, when is the last time we had this many play revivals in a single Broadway season?
Compare all that to just 6 new plays.
Now curious of the staging. Feel like Joe tends toward less spectacle / big but this such a larger space. Either way I’m in.

What an amazing time at the theatre. It was like five hours long from what I remember.
In a vacuum this sounds great, but the combination of Death of a Salesman having just been on Broadway and not particularly wanting to support Scott Rudin, this is a pass for me.
This should have moved to a smaller theater and let Mamma Mia run well into Summer 2026.

Reverse it. Stick Mamma Mia in the Jones. That flaccid little tour set should fit right in and they can command even higher prices. Lord knows that theatre needs a hit.
That show already has a whole tour lined up for the rest of the year with that set.
