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.

Ahh, I can't wait to see this. Truly I'm a little more excited for Franco than Kidman though :/

We'll probably get Zoe Kazan as Heavenly.

Seeing 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!

It will be interesting to see the show & not the sanitized movie version .

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.

Just 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.

this needs to go into a large house, it'll definitly sell-out way in advance.

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