Next season, Kenneth Lonergan will have another one of his plays making its Broadway debut. This time, it will be The Waverly Gallery, which will star Elaine May with two alums of Lonergan’s works, Michael Cera (This is Our Youth, Lobby Hero) and Oscar nominee Lucas Hedges (Manchester By the Sea).

This is exciting and I love Elaine May BUT, Miss Eileen Heckart was brilliant in this role originally and i think it will be hard to top that legendary perfirmance. That being said, I am excited to see this play again. Deserves to be seen by many more.

Eileen Heckert is dead. If we stopped doing plays every time someone claimed they saw a legendary performance that couldn’t be topped, the canon would be empty. There are lots of people who didn’t see Eileen Heckert in the role who will be more than happy to jump at the chance to see the play, and with a performer of great stature like May, no less.

"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." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body
