Entertaining Mr. Sloane's Alec Baldwin Appears on 'The View,' March 2

Alec Baldwin, currently starring in the Roundabout Theatre Company's revival of Entertaining Mr. Sloane, will appear on ABC's "The View" on Thursday, March 2nd at 11:00am-12:00pm.

Entertaining Mr. Sloane, which began previews on February 17th, opens officially on Thursday, March 16th at the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre (111 West 46 Street). This is a limited engagement through Sunday, May 21, 2006.

"Joe Orton's classic dark comedy Entertaining Mr. Sloane centers on a handsome stranger with a secret, his libidinous landlady, her gender-bending brother and geriatric father. Kath's (Maxwell) language may be prim but her intentions are blatant when she picks up Mr. Sloane (Carmack) and takes him in as a lodger. Attractive, mischievous and dangerous, Sloane eventually has Kath, her brother Ed (Baldwin) and their father Kemp (Easton) eating out of his hand as they all compete for his favors. Together they play out a sexual tug of war, sparking a series of murderously funny events in this survival of the fittest power struggle where they will resort to anything to get what they want," state press notes.

Baldwin received a Tony Award nomination for his work in the 1992 revival of A Streetcar Named Desire, and has also appeared on New York stages in Twentieth Century, Prelude to a Kiss, Loot and Serious Money; he will next be seen on Broadway in Entertaining Mr. Sloane. His many film credits include The Hunt for Red October, Glengarry Glen Ross, Pearl Harbor, The Aviator and The Cooler, for which he received an Oscar nod.
