Can someone give me directions to that star-driven "Into the Woods" production that Shakespeare in the Park was going to do? The only (semi) known name in this production is Amy Adams.
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.
That description of As You Like It (masquerading as The Robber Bridegroom) makes my teeth hurt. You just know they're gonna make poor Donna Lynn Champlin do grotesque things...
I think Denis O'Hare is a great choice. He's very much the same type as Mark Hadfield, who played the Baker in the London production, so I assume they're going for the same relationship dynamic between the Baker and the Baker's Wife.
Denis is a fantastic actor and it'll be nice to see him play a character that isn't a villain for once.
I think you need to relearn your biology. It's really not difficult at all for 50 year old men, whose family trees have not been cursed by a neighborhood witch, to impregnate a woman.
As for these apparent limitations people imagine he has as an actor, did you see "An Illiad"?
I saw him do a reading of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and he was perfect.
