Great scoop Lightsout!!
I think Martin Short will do very well with this role and will certainly sell his share of tickets. it is a very comedic role without much depth required, but great timing, something that is a strength of Short's. I believe he is also a very good friend of Broderick's so that aspect will not compromise the friendship part of the story. I can't recall if they have worked together in the past.
I actually think losing Stockard will hurt the play more, not from a ticket sale standpoint, but for performance and chemistry sake.

Posted: 11/6/14 at 9:37pmI can't imagine it's a huge financial investment to move. It's a pretty basic set. Sad it's the hit of the season considering the play itself isn't very good at all.
