This a really amazing cast. Who doesn't love Ari Graynor?
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
I think they're wildly different plays, but they're both equally deserving of their individual merits. With INTIMATE APPAREL, a lot of people who didn't see the original production only know of it the acclaim Viola Davis got for her performance, so I think this is a really exciting opportunity for people to experience the piece anew with a tremendous group of actors.
As you say, it'll also be really interesting to get to see Quincy Tyler Bernstine and Condola Rashad playing opposite each other in another Nottage play with such a different dynamic from what their characters' relationship was like in RUINED.

sskeats, Pinkins would have been a great Mama Nadi. Adriane Lenox (who was supposed to do it originally) would have also been superb.

I noticed that Condola who is doing this reading is in Trip to Bountiful. I wonder if she's going to in HBO's Stick Fly where she won o Tony nom on Bway.
