The Acting Company Presents The Rose Tattoo Cast Members:
Patti LuPone, Bonny Cannavale
Is Bonny Patti's understudy? Is she Bobby's sister?
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
Good role for Bobby, who was not at his best in either "The Big Knife" or "Glengarry Glen Ross" and deserves to be seen to better advantage, and a great one for Patti. I hope this does get a full production.
The old Telecharge website has a little more information. It's definitely a one-night-only event (Monday, April 27th at 7pm), with Doug Hughes directing. Tickets will be $100-$250.
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.

"Isn't Lapone a bit long of tooth to play a pregnant woman with a 12-year-old daughter?"
Somehow I don't think anyone cared last night.
But I would honestly love for her to get a full rehearsal period and do even a limited run of the show, just to see how much further she can take Serafina. I thought she was just incredible last night, but I know there has to be more.

^ I would be more than willing to hand-wave the fact that she's clearly much older than Serafina should be. Someone really should've mounted a production for LuPone 20 years ago, but that was the nadir of her life and fame. She said in a recent interview that she'd love to do a full production (which I know is the equivalent of "yes, I'd LOVE a full-time paying job!"), though I do think it'd still be better suited for a limited run of some sort.
