Rumor: Edward Albee's THE GOAT, OR WHO IS SYLVIA? Broadway Revival starring Steve Carell and Sarah Paulson — Page 2

I saw the original twice, with both casts, and found it a rarity: it worked as well with both. Ruhl was an exploding ammo closet, rage tinged with heartbreak; Sally Field was a small firecracker who finally detonated, and when she unleashed her fury, via fireworks, the play galvanized in news ways.  It's that good as a text, that open to interpretation. These two stars should tear into it.

Hmm mmmm

Yes, this play is really all about the wife (and to a certain extent the son, as his arc defines the play's major theme).

That big monologue Steve has toward the end...Sarah Paulson is coming for Tony #2. 

Pedro Pascal’s Broadway debut was as Edmund in Glenda Jackson’s KING LEAR! I remember him being a rare great thing about that production (along with Ruth Wilson).

I wouldn’t go so far to say that Paulson will bring in the crowds. While her last show did gangbusters business towards the mid and end of its runs, you could generally walk right in for cheap prior.  I think all of her previous shows closed early. 

That said, I think the pairing of the two, especially considering the number of talk shows that would die to book this duo for press, will make this a hot ticket early on.

Pascal could end up with a Tony nomination.   Jonathan Price was nominated for an Olivier & Evening Standard Award for Martin.  Bill Pullman was nominated for a Drama Desk.

Eddie Redmayne won Best Newcomer at the Critic's Circle & Evening Standard awards.  And was nominated for an Olivier in Supporting for Billy.
