And with Martha Clarke directing, this should be very exciting!!
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

That other link that givemesvoice breaks it down better: Michael Park is Macheath, Sally Murphy is Jenny, Lilli Cooper is Lucy, Rick Holmes is Tiger Brown.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."
Loving Sally Murphy as Jenny. Great cast all-around, too.
"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."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
Look at tickets, I see a lot of "Back 20" seats for only $20. That's quite a price drop in a space so small that there are no bad seats. Have they always offered these?

"In theater, the process of it is the experience. Everyone goes through the process, and everyone has the experience together. It doesn't last - only in people's memories and in their hearts. That's the beauty and sadness of it. But that's life - beauty and the sadness. And that is why theater is life." - Sherie Rene Scott
Wow, great casting all around. Any time to see Sally Murphy on stage is a treat.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
And for those who have never seen Martha Clarke, she is one of the most gifted dance-theater artists we have. Reginald Tresilian and I have seen nearly everything she's done.
Oh, man! What a cast! Pretty sure I'm going to make it back to NY before May. This is on my 'must-see' list. Absolutely nothing like the music of Kurt Weill.
That revival was a disaster. Alan Cummings looked like he was "under the influence" of something, and the rest were AWFUL, with the exception of Jim Dale. One of the WORST experiences I've EVER had in the NYC theater.
Thanks for the heads up on the $20 tix. Just paid $47.79 for a pair in the center. Haven't been there since SPRING AWAKENING, and that was great even from the back row!
F. Murray Abraham does constantly interesting work in a huge array of stage and screen projects. Laura Osnes seems to fit the part well, but this pushes her in a new direction. Sally Murphy as Jenny really excites me too, and that part can make or break a production. The producers, director, and casting director did a great job pulling this cast together!
