"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."

I was just walking by the Sondheim last night and wondering what would go there next.
I think this is really exciting. It's the first thing that's been announced recently that I'm genuinely interested in seeing.
It will be difficult to match the perfection of Lois Smith in the Signature revival some 7ish years back though. Wish that had made it to Broadway as well.

Posted: 12/3/12 at 6:17pmThe Lois Smith revival was indeed special, but I'm excited to see a fresh take on the play and the role. Michael Wilson has scored consistently high marks with me in the past--I think he's a really solid choice to direct this.

This (for me) is the most exciting event in the spring season.
Cicely Tyson is one of the greatest actors of all time, and to get to see her back on Broadway at almost 80 years old in a role as rich as this one is a thrilling opportunity.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
