The Glass Menagerie to the Golden per Cindy Adams

[10086sunset]

She's been on some roll lately....

 

"Back when she played in “The Goat,” Sally Field’s theater was the Golden. When Joe Mantello was nominated for a Tony for “The Normal Heart,” he played the Golden. Where’s their “Glass Menagerie” opening? Looks like the Golden."

[Mr Roxy]

Saw the last one 3 years ago with Cherry Jones. No need to see it again. Isn't 3 years ago a tad to soon?

[AC126748]

Apparently it isn't for the people who are putting up the money. 

[Mr Roxy]

Ok It is their money so let them do what they want.

[ACL2006]

it should really only run for 2-3 months. no way this sells well even with Fields.

[Scarywarhol]

I loved the last revival. And it feels like yesterday.


But the fact that this could follow so quickly doesn't bother me because it feels disrespectful of that show. It just speaks to the preposterous conservatism of the producers who invest in these things. 

 

 I love Sam Gold. Could be a great production. 

 

No matter what, it's lower on my list than any play that hasn't been produced on Broadway in the past four years.

FIELD. Sally FIELD.

[little_sally]

I love this play but there are so many other things that should be revived before this returns.

[Kad]

I'm a fan of Sally Field, a fan of Sam Gold, a fan of Joe Mantello, and a fan of the play. But even I have a lot of trouble mustering anything even resembling enthusiasm for this.

I'm way more interested in why Cindy Adams is suddenly "reporting" on theater.

[BroadwayNYC2]

Maybe this and that made up revival of Come Fly Away can run in repertory. 

[xxdrewboy85xx]

I had no idea this was happening.... I do love all those involved, but if there was a revival happening in the near future I would have hoped for the Mary-Arrchie ( RIP) Hans Fleischman production.

[standingovation79]

this is one of the most disrespectful productions to happen on broadway in years. Joe Mantello should be ashamed of himself, really. The rule used to be 20 years between professional NYC productions.

Whose rule?

 

[Kad]

And why should Joe Mantello be ashamed of himself for accepting a leading role in a prominent revival?

It's not disrespectful. Just boring.

There has never been any such rule, except in your mind.

 

[Sondheim_Geek]

Not this fall -- Golden already has a tenant.

[LarryD2]

This is not happening until 2017.

[BakerWilliams]

Well I was not a huge fan of the 2013 Menagerie (that off-Broadway one was perfect), so I look forward to it.

[Jordan Catalano]

Sally Fields and Julia Robert should do 'NIGHT MOTHER.

[playbill-love]

I feel so conflicted about this. The 2013 revival was my first time seeing the play, and I completely fell in love with it. Such perfect design, casting, direction, everything. I love Sam Gold but I just can't imagine this being better than the 2013 revival, which will be fresh in the memory when seeing this.

"

I'd like to see them do THREE SISTERS with Alan Cummings 

[Jordan Catalano]

No, I'd want to see them do that with Olympia Dukaki.

[RippedMan]

Who cares? I mean if you don't want to see it, don't get see it. I love Gold and would love to his take on it. And it's a gorgeous play. I'm not sure what new light can be shed on it. But I guess we'll see.

[Borstalboy]

Wow.  Cindy Adams is still alive.  Who knew?
