This will be a huge seller! Can't wait to see who they get for Boss Finley, Heavenly, and Miss Lucy.
Although with these two headlining, they don't need more "names." Still, those are really good roles.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 1/29/11 at 9:41pmSeeing Franco will be the real treat for me, too, but don't underestimate Kidman ... I did that when she was in The Blue Room, and she blew me away!

Nicole seems a bit young for the part, though I'm sure she will do very well.
I still have vivid memories of Irene Worth playing the role. I saw her and a then unknown Christopher Walken do it at BAM in the 70s. I was 15 and it was my first Tennessee Williams play. She was extraordinary and seeing her and Mr. Walken ignite the stage remains as one of my top three theatrical experiences.

Posted: 1/29/11 at 10:52pmJust for comparison's sake, by the time this production opens Kidman will be nine years older than Geraldine Page was when she originated the role.

Yes, but I don't believe Geraldine had her face fixed, nor was she reed thin.
Nicole has some work ahead of her.
