Wow! Exciting news! I LOVED the recent Donmar production. It gave me a new appreciation for the play. I'm excited to see another take on it, particularly after seeing Rashad in ADHP2, and Sullivan's excellent work on The Little Foxes.

This is fabulous news. I've seen two productions of Saint Joan within the last year and it holds up extraordinarily well. Even though it's a long play (3+ hours), it absolutely flies by when performed well. Rashad is an inspired choice.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

After Rashad's staggering performance in A Doll's House, Part 2, I'd see her in absolutely anything.

Love Matthew Saldivar, Patrick Page, and Adam Chanler-Berat, so I am officially excited for this.

I really have been underwhelmed by Rashad to date (but only saw Bountiful, R&J, and ADHP2, and did not anticipate seeing this production. But that cast announcement is really excellent. Maybe, this time will do it.

So Karen Cartwright is performing right across the street from Derek Wills, who is performing right next to the theater where Hit List premiered... Smash takeover on 47th St!!

Posted: 2/21/18 at 12:16amRe: Smash takeover - you're forgetting (or didn't mention) that Rashad played Ellis' girlfriend and Sunjata played the dramaturg for Bombshell. Now do we think Megan Hilty would agree to replacing Kate Baldwin so poor people like me can just cry ourselves to sleep?

The Smash references are killing me and I love it LOLZ! Seriously, this show is so much more fun AND easy to quote and reference than Glee...why, I have no idea.
Moving on, any reason why this doesn't state who's playing who? Other than Condola, obviously.

Well if you really wanna talk Iconic, we can talk about how Phillipa Soo is in The Parisian Women and also in Hitlist -
(Uma Therman/Rebecca Duval was Marilyn in Bomb-ed-shell out of town tryout).
WesTayTay is in Spongebob but now even I realize I'm stretching it :p

Just grabbed front row for the second preview. I’m excited for this cast.
