Ummmm ... Amy Morton WAS the show. She plays Barbara - and she captivates and hits every single line and plays every single moment to perfection. The rest of the cast in phenomenal, don't get me wrong, but Amy Morton is the best there is.

I would love to see who they replace Morton with. She seems to me, this lynchpin of the cast. So much so it's odd to me that someone can see the show and not remember her.

Anyone else think it is odd popular elphie's signature has a** altered but not faggot? Love me some misguided censorship.

Kate Burton would be a fantastic choice, and she'll be finished with Spring Awakening right around then.

It makes sense that August will want to move to the Music Box so they can have a longer run because they have to vacate the Imperial. But it does not make sense to me that Macbeth can just come in, have a run when Billy Elliot is planning to load in the sets. Isn't this the reason August has to leave the Imperial?

The reason the Imperial has to be vacated is that they need to dig out the basement in order to accommodate the Billy Elliot set.

And after seeing Billy a couple of weeks ago, it is understandable since they have to put in the tall staircase piece, easily 12-15 feet tall, that comes out of the floor and can't be condensed.

Though I agree that Amy Morton is the BOMB!
Any decent actress should give her right arm for that part.
Kristen Johnson?

Sad to say, but I heard Patrick Stewart was checking out the Lyceum today. Which would mean it's time for Is He Dead? to go. I also heard the run for 'The Scottish Play' would only be a month.

Well, they have been advertising "last weeks" recently. I thought I read March 30 on here as a closing date, but maybe it is sooner?

Up until last week telecharge was only selling tickets for Is He Dead? through March 30th, but has since extended ticket sales until June 1st. Kinda odd, but maybe they were testing what potential advance sales they could garner.
