This is the more interesting bit of news in the column:

I’ll feel gorgeous just by relaying some high-toned dish to you: First of all, as you know, there’s an opening at the New York Times for a second-string theater critic, and everyone in town wants it. Well, I hear their first-string critic, Ben Brantley, won’t be reviewing the revival of The Price, starring Mark Ruffalo. (He can’t review everything; there’s a scary amount of shows coming down the turnpike before the Tony deadline). And I bet whoever does review it will then be named the new second-string critic. So let’s wait a few days and see, theater queens.

"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

This would be three Sam Gold productions on Broadway in a year, coming after The Glass Menagerie and A Doll's House 2. Even Ivo only had two last year.

I wonder if SWEET CHARITY is still trying to come in the fall...looks like they'll need another theater.
