Anyone else hear a rumor that Rudin and NYTW are transferring Robert O'Hara's production of SLAVE PLAY to the Hayes this spring? Do you think they'll replace some of the cast with movie stars or keep the original cast? As fun as it to imagine what stars might fit into the show, I really hope they keep the entire original cast!

Why? I'm all for risk-taking, and I actually do think the Broadway bubble could use a dose of weirdness like this play could offer. But I feel like this constant conversation of "well, it sold out Off-Broadway, so I guess we should move it to Broadway" is so tiresome. Why can't Off-Broadway be enough to feel validated?

I agree with you that Broadway isn't--and shouldn't be treated as--the end-all-be-all. I just hope more people get to see the play! I'd be equally as excited about, say, a Barrow Street transfer...but I feel like, physically, this production requires more space than that. Also, I feel like it’s been a minute since the critics got this excited about an off-broadway play!

What enhancement did they need? I loved the play, but the production itself was pretty cheap...

I’ll just say, I was in the front row at previews and saw everything. Unless they changed the blocking you will too
