The director seems to have a good handle on the material. I hope they pull it off.
Picnic cast meets the press
"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Posted: 11/30/12 at 3:12pmI admit the things the actors and the director said make me hope it's not a typical Roundabout revival. I appreciate that the Broadwayworld host is a fan of the material--I think Inge is due for a major re-appraisal as a brilliant playwright up there with Miller and Williams--but I wish he would stop saying how it's about "Americana", a term (maybe because I'm Canadian) that annoys me. In a way, it is about the loss of the American Dream concept, but I think it's so much more than that.
