Old Vic on Broadway again next season?#1

I cannot seem to find the article, but a friend of mine commented that in an interview that Kevin Spacey gave for MOON's publicity blitz, he mentioned that they were in the process of looking for a theatre to bring their current production of THE ENTERTAINER (starring Robert Linsday) over in the fall. If true, it would mark Lindsay's first NY stage appearance since ME AND MY GIRL. I'd love to see it happen.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

I found this quote:

"Spacey brushes off the criticism, saying his nine other shows have been financially successful, and the Old Vic's current production of John Osborne's "The Entertainer" is in negotiations to go to Broadway."

There was also an article from Variety regarding a three year alliance between The Old Vic and BAM to bring in several productions of classics (Hamlet and The Tempest with Stephen Dillane, A Winter's Tale and Cherry Orchard with Simon Russell Beale) to be directed by Sam Mendes:
