Gillian Anderson & Lily James to star in Van Hove's ALL ABOUT EVE.

[desperateAndee]

Golden Globe-winning actor Gillian Anderson (The Fall, The X-Files) has signed on to star as Margo Channing in the Ivo van Hove-helmed stage adaptation of All About Eve in London. Performances will reportedly begin in February 2019 at the Noel Coward Theatre in London.

With all that talk about who should play Margo Channing, I never even considered Gillian Anderson and I think it's a fantastic choice.

This is very exciting news.

Brilliant! This cannot transfer fast enough!!!

She was phenomenal in Streetcar. Cannot wait for this.

I admit to having a gay guy crush on Miss Cate Blanchett.  So, I was more than disappointed when she withdrew from this project.  There went probably my only opportunity to see her perform on stage.  But, now I am looking forward to a London trip to see Gillian Anderson and Lily James, two very talented actors.

I'll never forgive Blanchett for The Present...

Cate is doing a play at the National next spring.

Thanks for the heads-up.  Excellent news!

The Present was truly just awful. 

Does this overlap with the Patti Lupone Company? Cause that'd be reason enough for me to make the trip.

Company is scheduled to close in December and this is starting in February, so it doesn't look like it.
