These sort of productions are typically 12-16 weeks.

It could work with an actor of any race, but if Hal is a white actor, I think it'll bring in a really interesting dynamic with his relationship to Robert (and his attempts to publishhis work after his death) that isn't usually present in the show."

Will Andrew Barth Feldman be available?

Either I am losing it or you are thinking of Jeffrey Wright and Octavia Spencer in Death of a Salesman.  Unless I am remembering incorrectly, that is a movie, not a play revival.

They're likely talking about Carrie Coon in Bug

Correct...Bug instantly became my number one show of the seasons with Proof closely behind.

Thanks.  I did forget about that one.  I never get to see the winter production at MTC, so I probably unconsciously chucked it from the memory bank.  I would love to see Carrie Coon live, but not enough to incur the additional expense of another trip to NYC, particularly in winter.

Sounds good but way too many plays and not enough original musicals.
