According to Google, Metcalf is only 5' 7" and Pill and Jackson are both only 5' 6", and the average height of an American woman is 5' 4". So maybe they should bill this production as Three Slightly Taller Than Average Women.

Maybe they will all be in heels.

Seems like a great cast to me, but the real reason to see this is Glenda Jackson.  A 2-time Oscar winner who appeared on Broadway several times (hard to believe Strange Interlude was 30 years ago) and would definitely be in the Maggie Smith / Judi Dench / Vanessa Redgrave pantheon had she not decided to go into politics for almost three decades.  Can't wait to see her.

Despite her sabbatical as MP for Hampstead, she is still one of the greats.

I suspect she will give a somewhat sharper portrayal than Maggie Smith in this role!

Oops, you must be right then! I don't think it registered for me until I saw their official website just now, though, ha.

I love the artwork for this and Rudin's revival of Delicate Balance. I like how he used the same font for both, and the elegant women with their faces obscured.

I'm also excited to see this cast in this play. Does anyone have knowledge or even a hunch about when the Golden box office will be open for it?

I'd like to buy advance tickets, but need to at least try to avoid paying the online fees. I'm also curious how well it's selling so far, wondering if I need to buy them now.

Hey all, I'm going to be in NYC on March 29th and wanted to know if opening night tickets usually go on sale or do they reserve them exclusively for people involved in the show?

Telecharge's page for the show says that the box office is opening on January 3rd.
