Philip Hoffman in CLEAR DAY...?

Is Hoffman actually in the show or is he just a swing?

...I can't be the only one who immediately thought this about Philip Seymour Hoffman, right?

Ugh. LOL

I had the same thought, Kad.

Just for fun, imagine how he would do replacing HCJ.

This is a serious thread. Please don't make me do the whole throwing up in my mouth thing.

I won't spoil your thread, jordy. But can't you just hear Seymour Hoffman mumbling the title song?

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 12/21/11 at 1:13pm

No. I'm already dreading the thought of having to hear him mumble through SALESMAN.

Standby for Connick

I wonder if HE can hit all the notes...

Hit all the notes, that is before he leaves to play Willy...

I'm sure they can just re-write it to fit him. They just have to make Dr. Bruckner a slovenly shut-in who believes his life is a failure and struggles to write a book and bam! Perfect role for Hoffman.

I'd see that!

But in seriouslyness - I want to ask Hoffman to sign my INTO THE WOODS poster. Is he not in the show each night?

I can see the press release (or the intern shill on BWW's boards, whichever comes first): "Philip Seymour Hoffman IS Davey Gamble! He dances across the stage!"

Sorry. Carry on,

[Kad]

"He plods across the stage!"

Who wouldnt want to see him in as nearly a romantic scene as the revisal allows with Harry Connick?

Jordan -- no, he's not in the show nightly. And he's not Connick's standby. Sean Allan Krill is. Hoffman's the standby for the "older guy" parts (the older version of the accompanist, etc)

ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE AN ALMOST FAMOUS DEAD SALESMAN WRITING IN COLD BLOOD FOREVER

...UNTIL ALONG CAME POLLY.

You're making a mockery of my serious thread.

It's our gift.
